👩🏼‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Please scroll to the full printable recipe card at the bottom for ingredient quantities and the method.

Preheat Your Oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Mix Peanut Butter and Icing Sugar.

In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and icing sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.

Chill the Dough (Recommended for Warm Climates) If you live in a warm climate or prefer firmer dough for easier handling, you can optionally chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Shape the Dough into Balls.

After chilling (if desired), take tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls between your palms.

Or, using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet and then flatten it using the back of the spoon.

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

Flatten the Cookies.

Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly, creating a pattern on the top of the cookies.

Bake the Cookies.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.

Cool and Enjoy. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

📝 TIPS AND TRICKS

• Adjust Consistency: Depending on the brand and type of peanut butter you use, you may need to adjust the sugar to achieve the right dough consistency. Add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter if the dough is too dry or more sweetener if it's too sticky.

❓FAQS

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

While creamy peanut butter works best for achieving a smooth texture in these cookies, you can undoubtedly use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a bit of texture. Remember that the cookies may have a slightly different texture and appearance.

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

The cookies are done baking when the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
