Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream softened butter for about 2 minutes.
Add sugars. Cream on medium-high speed for 4 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Add peanut butter and beat on medium until combined. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Beat in eggs. Pour in vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together baking powder, baking soda, and flour. With the mixer on low, dump in about 1/2 a cup of the flour mixture (to the dough) and mix just until combined. Then stir in the remaining flour mixture in two batches, stirring just until combined.
Roll into balls and roll in sugar. Flatten the balls on the cookie sheet and make a crisscross pattern with a fork. Sprinkle on a little more sugar.
Bake 7-9 minutes or just until the edges start to turn light golden brown and the cookies begin to crack. They might not look completely done but if you leave them in the oven until they brown completely, they won't be soft. I actually like to make large cookies - 6 to a cookie sheet - and they need to bake for about 10-11 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
