Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or grease them lightly.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully integrated. Follow with the vanilla extract, mixing well.
Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the chunky peanut butter, blending until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture. Stir until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them adequately.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
