Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (60 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
If you prefer a smoother cookie, use creamy peanut butter.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the dough for extra texture and flavor.
For a festive touch, sprinkle the cookies with sea salt before baking.
Make sure your butter is properly softened to ensure a smooth and creamy cookie dough.
Do not overbake the cookies, as they will become dry and crumbly.

Jun 20, 2025I followed the recipe exactly, and the cookies were a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar.
