Preheat the oven to 350°. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the peanut butter, brown & granulated sugars & butter on medium speed until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until creamy. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until combined.
Scoop 1½ Tbsp; place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Dust with granulated sugar, then use a fork to press the balls into ¼" thick rounds. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts and/or sea salt, if using.
