Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick baking mats.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugar for about 2 minutes. The stand mixer with the paddle attachment works great.
- Add vanilla and eggs eggs, mixing well and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Use a large cookie scoop (ours holds about 2 tablespoons of dough) and then roll the dough into smooth balls.
- Place the dough balls on a non-stick baking mat with about 2" between each cookie. Use the tins of a fork to make a criss-cross pattern, pressing down into the cookie dough.
- Sprinkle extra white sugar on the tops of the cookies.
- There's no need to chill the dough. Bake right away! Bake the cookies for 9-10 minutes. If you like cookies to be soft, be sure not to overbake them. They shouldn't be browned at all.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 3-5 minutes on the pan, then remove them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container.
