Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate chips, peanut butter, and oats to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Measure accurately: Using the correct measurements is crucial for successful baking. Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure precise measurements.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake at the right temperature: Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe. Baking at too high or too low a temperature can result in undercooked or overcooked cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the cookies set and prevents them from breaking.

These three-ingredient cookies are a quick, easy, and delicious treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
