Let butter sit on the counter for a few hours until it's soft.

In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the sugars and beat for 2-3 minutes, or until creamy and lightened.

Beat in the eggs and vanilla.

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture just until no streaks of flour remain.

Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray cookie sheets or line them with silicone liners.

Use a tablespoon scoop to portion the dough, then roll into 1-inch balls.

Place cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheets two inches apart. Use a fork dipped in sugar to make a crisscross pattern.

Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees or until golden brown on the bottom and barely set in the middle.

Let cool on the cookie sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
