steps
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- 3.
Add the peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- 4.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- 5.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room for them to spread.
- 6.
Use a fork to press down on each cookie ball, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- 7.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be slightly soft.
- 8.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
