Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C). As the oven warms up, I grab my trusty mixing bowl and combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mixing it all together until it’s beautifully creamy and smooth fills my kitchen with an irresistible scent! Next, I add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the other. The mixture should be glossy and thick at this point; it absolutely screams “delicious!” (See the next page below to continue steps…)
