Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. I prefer using a whisk for this step, as it helps create a fluffy texture. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Next, add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. I just love how the vanilla adds a warm depth to the mix. Once that’s done, you can combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture into the peanut butter mixture. Stir until just combined, creating a luscious dough. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
