Tips:
- Choose the right peanut butter. A creamy or smooth peanut butter will work best for this recipe, as it will create a smooth and consistent batter. Avoid using natural or chunky peanut butter, as these can make the cookies too dry or crumbly.
- Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to create a more flaky and tender cookie. If you use room temperature butter, the cookies will be more dense and chewy.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. The cookies should be slightly golden around the edges, but still soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from melting and running off the cookies.
- Use a variety of toppings. You can use any type of sprinkles, candy, or nuts to decorate the cookies. Get creative and have fun!
