Tips

  • Use smooth peanut butter, not the all-natural kind that separates.
  • If you don't have a peanut cookie cutter, scoop out two half teaspoon balls, push them together, and mold them into a peanut shape.
  • For a lazier option, make round cookies.
  • Bake until a little crunchier, up to 12 minutes, as these are very soft peanut butter cookies.
  • Press down cookies a little more if they are too thick.
