Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time? Yes! Prepare the dough ahead and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. This might even enhance the flavor, resulting in an even tastier cookie.
Can I use just one type of peanut butter? Absolutely! If you’re out of all three types, feel free to use whichever peanut butter you have on hand. The flavor profile will differ slightly but still be delicious.
How can I make my cookies softer? To achieve softer cookies, slightly underbake them or add a tablespoon of cornstarch to your dough. This will retain more moisture, leading to a softer texture.
