1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2

In a KitchenAid mixer, add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter.

3

Add 1 cup of packed brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar to the mixer.

4

Add 1 cup of softened butter (2 sticks) to the mixer.

5

Mix on low speed for about 2 minutes until creamy.

6

Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing for 20-30 seconds after each addition.

7

Scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically while mixing.

8

In a separate bowl, combine 2 and 1/4 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

9

Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixer, starting with about 1/2 cup at a time to avoid flour flying everywhere.

10

Mix until the flour is incorporated, which may take 3-5 minutes.

11

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring and mix for another 20 seconds.

12

Continue adding the remaining flour mixture gradually until fully incorporated.

13

Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to firm it up.

14

Roll heaping teaspoons of dough into balls and then roll them in 1/2 cup of sugar.

15

Place the sugar-coated dough balls on a cookie sheet, about 12 at a time.

16

The recipe yields about 4 dozen cookies, depending on the size of the dough balls.
