Notes
Use Creamy Peanut Butter: For smooth, soft cookies, opt for natural, unsweetened peanut butter. Avoid using processed peanut butters with added oils or sugars.
Don’t Overmix the Dough: Once the dry ingredients are added, mix just until combined to avoid dense cookies.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For best results, store in the fridge for up to a week, and the freezer for up to 2 months.
