  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Nutrition

Keywords: - Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. - Chill dough for about 30 minutes before baking to prevent cookies from spreading too much. - Substitute M&Ms with nuts or dried fruits for added texture.
