Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Mini chocolate chips (for spider eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
