- Place butter and peanut butter in heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds or until melted.
- Stir butters together then add eggs and whisk together
until combined. - In a medium bowl, add all dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Add wet mix to dry ingredients and stir together well
to form a dough. - Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls and place on
lined trays. - Flatten down with fork or palm of hand, cookies won’t spread much.
