Notes
Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
Watch closely during baking to prevent overbaking.
Cool on the baking sheet to help cookies set.
Swap sugar for coconut sugar or monk fruit for a healthier option.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Use an egg substitute (like flax egg) for a vegan version.
