Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (with the paddle attachment) or with a hand mixer and large bowl, cream butter and peanut butter for 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth.
- Add in the sugars and mix again until well combined.
- Then add in the eggs and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix just until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough into 36 dough balls and roll each until smooth.
- Place the dough balls on the cookie sheet 2" apart. Use a fork to press a criss cross in the top of the cookie dough ball, pressing down slightly to flatten the balls. Sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes. If you like soft cookies, bake for 9 minutes and don't let the cookies get browned. If you like crispy cookies, bake for closer to 11 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. Then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
