Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Position two racks in the upper and lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray the parchment with cooking spray.
- Add the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the mixture on high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time and mix on medium-low to combine before adding the next. Add the vanilla and mix again until combined.
- Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and mix on low until the mixture is just combined, scraping down the bowl occasionally, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a large cookie scoop, place mounds of dough on the prepared baking sheets at least 2 inches apart.
- Sprinkle the cookie dough mounds with granulated sugar. Chill the baking sheets in the freezer until very firm, about 20 minutes.
- Bake the chilled cookies until they begin to set on the edges, 12 to 14 minutes. Be careful not to overbake.
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before moving to a rack to finish cooling.

SOFT AND CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!
Who doesn't love a nice soft, chewy peanut butter cookie. I used my Grandmother's recipe for years but they were always dry and not chewy at all. So I started researching and reading other recipes and this is what I came up with. Just as good if not better than bakery peanut butter cookies.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Blend peanut butter and milk until creamy. Add vanilla. You may use up to 1 cup of peanut butter if you like.
- 2. Slowly stir in bisquick until blended well.
- 3. Shape into 1 1/2" balls, place on cookie sheet and press down with large fork. (I use a carving set/fork) Bake at 375* for 6-8 minutes or until centers are set, but do not over cook! We want soft & chewy! ;)
- 4. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: High-quality peanut butter, butter, and sugar will result in better-tasting cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help the cookies set and prevent them from becoming too soft.
