- Make sure the cookie dough balls are a similar size so that they cook at the same rate.
- If you want your cookies to brow evenly than turn the tray half way through cooking.
- Cooking times will vary on how much you flatten the dough. Start with the lowest cooking time and then add a few minutes more according to your taste.
- Use other flavourings to your taste, example cinnamon extract or other spices.
- You can swap almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter.
- Please do let cookies cool on the sheet (transferred to a cooling rack), otherwise they will break if you try and remove them before then.
