Peanut butter cookies have a rich history dating back to the early 1900s, with their origins often attributed to George Washington Carver, a renowned botanist and inventor. The addition of sea salt adds a delightful contrast to the sweetness of the cookies, elevating their flavor profile. Renowned chefs like Martha Stewart and Ina Garten have popularized this classic treat, incorporating sea salt to enhance the nutty and buttery notes. Today, the best versions of these cookies can be found in artisanal bakeries and specialty dessert shops, where the perfect balance of peanut butter, sugar, and sea salt creates an irresistible indulgence.
