- Refrigerate until coating is firm.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure your peanut butter is smooth and creamy.
- If your peanut butter is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
- Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, as this will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before decorating them.
