Old-Fashioned Peanut-Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS
1.

2cups creamy peanut butter (not the all-natural variety)

2.

1 1/2cups granulated sugar

3.

1/2cup packed light brown sugar

4.

2large eggs

5.

2teaspoons baking soda

6.

2teaspoons pure vanilla extract

7.

1/2teaspoon kosher salt

DIRECTIONS
1.

Heat oven to 350 F.

2.

Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and sugars on medium-high speed
until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in the eggs, baking soda,
vanilla, and salt.

3.

Roll heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place on parchment-lined
baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. With a lightly floured fork, press the dough
to a -inch thickness, making a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.

4.

Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are set, 10 to 12
minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool
completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5
days.
