Hey kiddo, have you ever had a peanut butter cookie? No? Well, let me explain what it is!
So first, we have to understand what's in peanut butter. You know how we squish peanuts to make peanut butter? That's right! Peanut butter is made from ground up peanuts with a bit of sugar and oil added. Yum!
Now, when we make peanut butter cookies, we take some peanut butter and mix it with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter. We then shape the mixture into little round balls and place them on a tray. We don't forget to flatten them slightly with a fork so they look like a little pie!
Next, we pop the tray into the oven and let it bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. While it's baking, the cookie dough expands and starts to turn a light brown color. That's when we know the cookies are ready!
Once the cookies are out of the oven, we let them cool down for a bit. They'll still be a bit soft, but that's okay! That's what makes them yummy!
So there you have it, little buddy! Peanut butter cookies are a delicious treat made with peanut butter, flour, sugar, eggs, and butter!
