Chef's Tips

For softer cookies, bake for slightly less time. For crispier cookies, bake for a minute or two longer.

Add chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts to the dough for extra flavor and texture.

Use natural peanut butter? You may need to add a tablespoon or two of flour to prevent spreading too thin.

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
