½ tsp kosher salt

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (2 sticks)

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs, room temperature

¾ cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.

Beat together butter, peanut butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.

Add eggs and vanilla until well blended. Scrape bowl.

Slowly add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Place on prepared baking sheets, 1” apart; bake for 8 minutes.

Remove from oven and quickly press 1 Milk Chocolate Star into center of each cookie.
