Set oven to 350 degrees.

Add eggs and vanilla and beat for another minute.

Add peanut butter and fold in.

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl then stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones.

Refrigerate the dough for at least an hour.

Roll dough into 2inch balls and press with a dinner fork twice to form the hatch pattern.

Bake for 10-15minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Do not over bake for chewy cookies.
