• 1/2 tsp.

  baking powder

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until very fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Add peanut butter and continue to beat until smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes more.

3. Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Drop tablespoons of dough on prepared sheets, spacing about 2" apart. Using a fork, score top of dough with a crosshatch pattern.

4. Bake cookies until golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let cool.
