- In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until well combined. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla.
- In a separate small bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and baking soda. Mix into wet ingredients.
- Scrape down from sides of the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
- Roll dough into 1 tbsp sized balls, roll in the granulated sugar to coat. Place on baking mat and press down slightly with a fork. Sprinkle with sea salt.
