How To Make classic peanut butter cookies

Step 1

Cream butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and sugars together in a bowl; beat in eggs.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir into butter mixture. Refrigerate dough 1 hour.
Step 3

Roll dough into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making the classic crisscross pattern.
Step 4

Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 8-10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Careful not to over-bake or they'll be dry.
