Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! First, I grab a mixing bowl and cream together my peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using my electric mixer. I love how the rich aroma of peanut butter fills my kitchen at this stage—it reminds me of childhood snacks. Once it’s all smooth and creamy, I add in the eggs one by one and mix in that delightful splash of vanilla extract. It’s the starting point of something yummy!
