Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Muddy Buddy Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and creamy peanut butter to the creamed mixture, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Carefully fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

  9. Let cookies cool slightly before rolling in powdered sugar for a sweet coating.
