Tips & Tricks

• Use a creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy for the best texture

• A hand mixer helps blend the sugar into the peanut butter evenly

• Press the dough down gently with a fork in a crisscross pattern so they cook evenly

• Let them cool slightly before removing from the tray—they’ll firm up as they sit
