Tips:

  • Use good quality peanut butter: The type of peanut butter you use will greatly affect the taste of your cookies. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or salt.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't over-bake the cookies: Peanut butter cookies should be baked until they are just set in the center. Over-baking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use any type of topping you like on your peanut butter cookies. Some popular choices include chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and candy sprinkles.
  • Make them ahead of time: Peanut butter cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter cookies are a classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. With these tips, you can make delicious peanut butter cookies that everyone will love.
