Tips & Tricks (5)

Creamy Peanut Butter Perfection 🥜
Use room temperature, creamy peanut butter for the smoothest cookie texture and easiest mixing.
Chill for Texture Magic 🧊
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a thicker, chewier cookie.
Classic Criss-Cross Technique 🍪
Use a fork dipped in sugar to create the signature crisscross pattern, which helps cookies bake evenly and looks professional.
Brown Sugar Moisture Trick 🍯
Pack brown sugar tightly when measuring to ensure maximum moisture and a softer, chewier cookie.
Perfect Baking Time Watch ⏲️
Remove cookies from the oven when edges are just slightly golden - they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet for that perfect soft center.
