Makes 36 cookies| Hands-On Time: 30m|Total Time: 1hr 15m

Ingredients

• 2  cups  creamy peanut butter (not the all-natural variety)
• 1 1/2  cups  granulated sugar
• 1/2  cup  packed light brown sugar
• 2  large eggs
• 2  teaspoons  baking soda
• 2  teaspoons  pure vanilla extract (I used imitation)
• 1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt (I used regular salt and only a pinch)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350° F.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and sugars on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in the eggs, baking soda, vanilla, and salt.
3. Roll heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. With a lightly floured fork, press the dough to a ⅜-inch thickness, making a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie. (Do NOT flour the fork. The cookies are suppose to be gluten-free!)
4. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
