Instructions

Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, then set aside.
Beat the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl for 2–3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
Add the creamy peanut butter, large eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients on low speed just until incorporated.
Weigh and portion the dough into 5.7 oz balls (about 9 total). Roll in granulated sugar and place on a baking sheet, flattening to 3.5 inches. Create a crisscross pattern with a fork and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Bake 2 cookies per baking sheet, ensuring space for spreading, for 12–14 minutes until edges are set.
Let the pan cool slightly before slamming it on the counter to create a crackly texture, then let the cookies cool completely before removing.

Notes

For best results, refrigerate the dough before baking to enhance the texture.
Ensure the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing for optimal results.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
