Cook Time: 35 min

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preparation:                                    

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350°F and line a 13×9-inch metal baking pan with greased parchment paper with a 2-inch overhang on each short side of the pan.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the sugar, brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the eggs to the bowl, one at a time, beating between each addition then add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, baking soda and salt and mix until well combined.
