Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and creamy cookie dough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner frosting, add more milk.
  • Decorate the cookies with sprinkles, nuts, or other desired toppings.
