Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream softened butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy (for a couple of minutes). Lower speed to medium.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth.
Beat in peanut butter and vanilla and beat until combined. Turn off mixer and scrape sides and bottom of the bowl.
Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat on stir/low speed until incorporated.
Roll about 1-inch cookie dough balls (I recommend using a #40 cookies scoop) and place them on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Gently press in top of each cookie ball with a fork forming a crisscross to flatten them a little.
Bake cookies for 9-10 minutes and cool them on a wire rack.
(You will get 2-3 batches out of this cookie dough recipe.)
