How to Make Pleasant Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  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. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the peanut butter until evenly distributed.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Flatten each ball with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
