Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Drop dough balls onto a prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt flakes if desired. Bake for about 12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
  5. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
