Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.
• Beat in granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
• Stir in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
• In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
• Using a fork, make a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
