How To Make peanut butter sea salt cookies

• 1

  Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars together in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. I use my stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat on medium high speed, scraping the sides of the bowl several times.
• 2

  Mix in eggs and vanilla, scraping sides at least once to fully incorporate.
• 3

  In separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly stir into peanut mixture, scraping down sides as needed to fully mix.

  Roll out balls of cookie dough 1 in thick and roll in sugar, cover and refrigerate at least one hour.

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Set on parchment lined baking sheet. Use a fork to gently flatten cookie, to make a criss cross pattern. Once flattened, cookies will continue to spread a bit during the cooking process, so allow a couple inches in between each cookie

  Bake for about 8-10 minutes. When you remove them from the oven, they should still be pretty soft. Allow them to sit on the hot baking sheet. Then transfercookis and parchmentpaper to a cool countertop .Allow to fully cool before adding the sea salt caramel drizzle. (It will melt if you don't)
