🔥 Methods & Tips for Best Results
Use natural peanut butter for a richer, more authentic flavor.
If the dough feels too sticky, chill it for 10–15 minutes.
Don’t overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool.
For softer cookies, remove them when centers still look slightly underdone.
Add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor if your peanut butter is unsalted.
