    How to Make Salty-Sweet Peanut Butter Sandies

    1. Prepare Oven and Baking Sheets

    Begin by warming your oven to a cozy 350 degrees and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper, setting the stage for your cookies to bake evenly without sticking.

    2. Cream Butter and Sugars

    In the heart of your mixer, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until they're thoroughly combined and have taken on a smooth and airy quality. The magic here is in the creaming; it’s the secret to giving your cookies their irresistible lightness.

    3. Add Peanut Butter and Eggs

    Once the sweet trio is fluffy, introduce the peanut butter to the mix. Go ahead and add the eggs too, letting them join the party one at a time, making sure each is fully mingled in before adding the next.

    4. Fold in Flour and Salt

    Now, gently fold in the all-purpose flour and kosher salt, turning the mixer on just long enough to make the white streaks of flour disappear. This is your dough’s final transformation, so mix with care; overworking it now would only lead to tough cookies later.

    5. Portion and Prep for Baking

    With a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto your prepared baking sheets, leaving enough room for each to spread into its own space.

    6. Sprinkle Salt and Sugar

    Before these cookies take their oven plunge, whisk together a bit of flaky sea salt and coarse sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle this glistening mixture over the dough. This isn't just for sparkle; it's the salty-sweet crown that will make your cookies truly unforgettable.

    7. Bake

    Slide your trays into the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. You'll know they're done when they've puffed up just a bit, wearing a golden-brown tan that tells you they're ready to come out.

    8. Cool Cookies

    Let the cookies rest on their sheets for a moment before transferring them to cooling racks. This is their time to set into the perfect chewy, crumbly delights.
