Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grab two cookie sheets and line them with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Cream peanut butter, butter, and sugars together in a stand mixer (or use a bowl and hand mixer).
  • Blend in eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, combine thoroughly.
  • Form heaping tablespoons of dough into balls, place on parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Now flatten them a little bit.
  • Mom used the fork technique. Put water in a measuring cup or glass and dip the fork into water and make a grid or criss-cross on the top.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 - 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, and allow to cool for a few minutes.
  • Using a spatula, slide the cookies onto a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely.
  • Serve with a big old peanut butter smile!
  • Optional- you can sprinkle demerara sugar on top of each cookie.
