Flatten the cookies: Using a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough to flatten it. Create a criss-cross pattern by pressing the fork into the dough both vertically and horizontally.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for around 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are firm but the centers are still soft.
Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

To keep your peanut butter cookies fresh, transfer them to an airtight once they've fully cooled. Store them at room temperature for up to five days. For extra freshness, add a slice of bread to the to absorb moisture and keep the cookies soft.

Freezing Tips

If you want to save some cookies for later, freezing the dough is a great option. Roll the dough into balls and freeze them before baking. When you're ready to enjoy fresh cookies, just bake the frozen dough balls as directed in the recipe.

I absolutely adored this recipe! It was so delicious! I followed the instructions exactly, but I doubled the recipe and mixed it by hand. The flavors were amazing, and it was incredibly easy to make. My nephew had a blast rolling the mixture into little balls, and I used a fork to flatten them. They held their shape well, so I could fit a lot on one cookie sheet. I will definitely be making these again very soon! Thank you so much!

I enhanced my cookies by adding vanilla extract and three chocolate chips on each one. I also found that greasing the measuring cup makes it much easier to get the peanut butter out. Living at 8600 feet in altitude, I adjusted the oven temperature to around 345°F and baked them for a perfect 12 minutes.

I have been making these for years and I absolutely adore them! They are a favorite among my family members and are always a huge hit at parties. During the Christmas season, I like to prepare them in a mini muffin pan, press a Reese's miniature into the center, and then sprinkle some red and green M&M's on top.

I purchased a large jar of peanut butter specifically to try this recipe, and I'm so glad I did! I appreciate how simple the ingredients are, and the option to get creative with add-ins. I made a batch with just the basics, and another with coconut and a sprinkling of sugar on top. I used my air fryer oven to bake them at 400°F for about 6 minutes (since it tends to run cooler than traditional basket air fryers). It turned out perfectly!

Absolutely adore these rapid and straightforward recipes - they form an outstanding foundation. For those times when I'm in a more daring mood, I include espresso powder, pecans, cinnamon, and vanilla. The outcome is scrumptious regardless of the variation.

This product turned into a sticky mess! It was impossible to shape into balls and instead spread all over the baking pans in the oven. A complete waste of time and money.

After experimenting with this recipe using both white and brown sugar separately, I have discovered that a combination of the two yields the best results. I opt for a mix of 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar when making these cookies. They come out just right once they've had a chance to set. Additionally, you might want to consider extending the baking time slightly.
