Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the creamy peanut butter and salted butter until smooth.
Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar; mix until fluffy.
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking soda; gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them three inches apart. Press gently with a fork to create a cross-hatch design.
Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden brown; allow to cool on the sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
