  • Use creamy peanut butter. This will result in a softer cookie.
  • Chill the 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 them dry and crumbly.

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
