Substitution of brown sugar for white sugar can produce a chewier peanut butter cookies. 2. **Do not over-chill the peanut butter:** Chilling the peanut butter helps to firm it up and make it easier to handle. However, if you chill it for too long, it will become too hard and difficult to mix with the other ingredients. 3. **Bake the cookies at a high temperature:** Baking the cookies at a high temperature helps to create a crispy crust while keeping the inside chewy and moist. And the rapid heat helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. ### A Few Other Helpful Baking Hacks * Use a stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together. This will help to create a light and fluffy texture. * Use a spoon to drop the batter onto the prepared sheet. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. * Bake the cookies until the just set. They should be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the stove. * Let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rake. This will help to prevent them from crumbling. ### Some Helpful Notes * You can use salted or unsalted peanut butter in this recipe depending on your desired taste. * If you do not have parchment paper, you can grease the sheet with cooking spray. * You can store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. * You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months. To do this, place them in a single layer in a freezer-proof container. When you are ready to eat them, thaw them at room temperature for a few hours. ### In the End: These chewy peanut butter cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Using brown sugar, not over-chilling the peanut butter, and a high temperature to bake the cookies are key to making the perfect chewy peanut butter cookies.
