Notes
- Chill dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and make scooping easier.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoons to portion dough evenly; flatten each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
- Natural peanut butter should be well stirred before use to incorporate oils thoroughly.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to five days or freeze for up to three months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
