FAQ:
- Can I use natural peanut butter? Yes! Just make sure to stir it well if it separates. Natural peanut butter may make the cookies a bit softer, but the flavor will be delicious.
- How can I make these cookies less sweet? If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup and adjust according to your taste.
- Can I use a different nut butter? Absolutely! Feel free to swap peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or any nut butter of your choice.
- Why are my cookies too soft? If your cookies are too soft, it might be due to the type of peanut butter or not baking them long enough. Let them cool fully on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring them.
These homemade peanut butter cookies are the ultimate snack, offering the perfect combination of chewy, crunchy, and peanut buttery goodness! Enjoy with your favorite drink or as an after-dinner treat.
