Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
