Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, cream together unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt; gradually mix into wet ingredients until just combined.
