Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine smooth peanut butter, unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and real vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 4-5 minutes until creamy.
  3. Add large eggs one at a time, mixing well and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Add baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute until combined.
  5. Gradually add all-purpose flour, mixing for about 20 seconds until barely combined.
  6. Scoop and roll portions of dough in granulated sugar, placing them on the lined baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 12-13 minutes until golden around the edges but soft in the center. Let rest for a few minutes before cooling completely.
