Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two large baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Mix in eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla until combined. Stir in flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated. Do not overstir.
  • Drop 2 tablespoon balls of the dough onto the cookie sheet, about 2 inches away from each other. Flatten each cookie with a criss-cross pattern using a fork so that it is about ½ inch high. I prefer to dip my fork into granulated sugar after every 2-3 cookies to help prevent sticking.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool for five minutes before placing on a cooling rack.
