FAQs
1. Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?
Yes, you can, but the cookies may be a little less sweet and more oily. Make sure to stir natural peanut butter well before using it.
2. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to three days before baking. Just bring it to room temperature before using.
3. How can I tell when the cookies are done?
Look for golden edges and a slightly soft center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Remember, they may seem underbaked when you take them out, but they will set as they cool!
