Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 16 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, smooth peanut butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto lined baking sheets and flatten slightly if desired.
