  • Use a natural, unsweetened peanut butter: This will give your cookies the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to a week.
