How to Make Mary Jane's Peanut Butter Molasses Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
