Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the peanut butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until creamy and uniform.
- Stir in the baking soda and sea salt, then fold in the flour until well combined.
- Take a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball, then coat each ball in white sugar.
