Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners and set aside.

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer and a large bowl, beat the peanut butter with the butter until smooth.

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, beating until fluffy.

Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk to combine the flour and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir together until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Scoop dough into 2 Tablespoons size balls and place about 3-inches apart on the baking sheets. Using a fork, gently press down to make a cross-hatch pattern on the top of the cookie dough.

Bake for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown and no longer glossy on top. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
