Notes
- Ensure you accurately measure the ingredients, especially the peanut butter and sugar, as the right ratios are crucial for achieving the soft and chewy texture characteristic of soft peanut butter cookies.
- Do not overbake the cookies; remove them from the oven when they are slightly underbaked, as they will continue to set on the baking sheet after being taken out, resulting in a soft, tender cookie.
