Ingredients
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter not natural
- ¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer (a paddle attachment on a stand mixer works best for this recipe), beat peanut butter and butter until smooth.
- Add sugars and beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla and beat on low speed until combined.
- Add flour (fluffed and leveled!), baking soda and salt and beat on low speed just until cookie dough comes together.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll into 1" balls and place 2" apart on baking sheets. Press down slightly with fork.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until set (a slight glossy sheen in the very center is okay). Remove and let cool on baking sheets before moving to an air tight container to store.
