Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add peanut butter, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then gradually incorporate into wet ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
