Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Mix in the creamy peanut butter until fully integrated and smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Scoop 2-tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-11 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers look soft.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
