The Secret to Cookie Perfection

The magic of these cookies lies in two key factors:

1. The perfect sugar ratio – Using half brown sugar and half white sugar creates that ideal chewy-yet-crisp texture.

2. No fork marks! – Skipping the classic criss-cross pattern allows the cookies to spread just the right amount, creating those irresistible crispy edges.

So there you have it – the keys to peanut butter cookie heaven. Now go forth and bake your way to bliss!
