Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

*This recipe makes a very large batch. Its supposed to be for 48 cookies, I usually half it!

1 cup butter softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling
2 bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs

• In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add vanilla and mix. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt. Add to mixture in mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
• Roll the dough into 1" balls and place onto a non-stick baking mat. Roll each ball in sugar gently. 
• Refrigerate the cookies for 30 minutes.
• Bake the cookies at 375 degrees for about 8-9 minutes. If you like cookies to be soft, be sure not to overbake them. They shouldn't be browned at all.
• As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press the kisses into the center of the cookie. 
• Allow the cookies to cool for about 3 minutes on the pan, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container.
