Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s get things rolling by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C). I love the sound of the oven warming up, like an invitation to deliciousness! While that’s happening, grab a mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This dry mixture is essential as it helps create the perfect cookie texture. In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it becomes nice and fluffy. Oh, the aroma of sweet peanut butter fills the kitchen!
