Notes
- Use a natural creamy peanut butter that is made with only peanuts and salt. Using a peanut butter with added oils or sugars will not work.
- Almond butter or cashew butter can replace the peanut butter for a Paleo and peanut free option.
- Use coconut sugar for a Paleo option. Otherwise, white sugar is fine.
- Cookie dough will be slightly sticky. I highly recommend using a cookie scoop to scoop dough onto sheet.
- Bake cookies until they are just set in the middle (no longer gooey). They are meant to be a little soft.
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Store in fridge for up to 7 days.
- These cookies freeze well.
