Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give you a smoother cookie dough and a more consistent bake. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can use it, but be sure to chop the peanuts very finely.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but your cookies may be a little flatter.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them set quickly and prevent them from becoming too dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter cookies are a classic for a reason. They're easy to make, delicious, and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your peanut butter cookies turn out perfectly every time.

These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from a quick snack to a special dessert. They're also great for bake sales and cookie exchanges.
