Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone
baking mat, and set aside.
2 Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a
large bowl. Set aside.
3 In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) with a paddle attachment, beat together
the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until light and
fluffy, about 3 minutes.
4 Add in all of the peanut butter, and mix until it is incorporated and smooth.
5 Add in the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, mixing between each addition just
until they are mixed. If needed, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
6 Reduce the mixer speed to low, and slowly add the dry ingredients just until
they are incorporated and the batter is smooth. Be careful not to over mix the
batter.
7 Using a small batter scoop, scoop the batter onto the baking sheet. Press a fork
onto the ball, flattening it into a cookie shape. Be sure that there is at least
2 inches between each cookie during baking.
8 Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9 Remove the cookies from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes, then transfer the
cookies to a cooling rack to completely cool.
