Salted Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and peanut butter, whisking until the mixture is completely incorporated with no visible streaks.

For cookies that hold their shape best, place the bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

Scoop the dough into rounded portions using about 1.5 tablespoons each. Place on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the tops lightly with coarse sea salt. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden and the tops appear set.

Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will be very fragile when warm.
