Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball of dough slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, which is ideal for soft cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
