Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES:
Prep your oven. 350˚F and parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Mix in peanut butter until it is incorporated and smooth. Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl down after each addition.
Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add dry ingredients until they are just incorporated and the batter is smooth, being careful not to over-mix.
Form your dough balls. Form the dough into 1.5-tablespoon round balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press a criss-cross pattern into each dough ball with a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake. For about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly puffy. Remove from the oven, and then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool.
Enjoy!
