Tips:
- Use natural peanut butter. This will give your cookies a richer flavor and better texture than using processed peanut butter.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
