Ingredients
Natural-style peanut butter
2 cups (Smooth and creamy)
White sugar
1 1/3 cups (Granulated)
Eggs
2 (Large)
Baking soda
2 teaspoons (Measured)
Salt
1 pinch (To taste)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or using a Silpat liner for a non-stick surface.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the natural-style peanut butter and white sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3
Add the eggs to the peanut butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
4
Gently mix in the baking soda, salt, and vanilla extract until everything is evenly blended into a dough.
5
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
6
To create the classic criss-cross design, press the back of a fork into the top of each cookie, flattening them slightly.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
8
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. These cookies will become chewier over time—if they last that long!
