Notes
Notes:
- For best results, weigh your flour and dry ingredients for accuracy.
- Light brown sugar works well for balanced sweetness and moisture.
- If the dough feels soft or wet, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking to help cookies hold their shape.
- Use room temperature egg for better mixing and texture.
- Note: The peanut butter topping will harden when you chill your cookies, so make sure to pop them in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before enjoying to get that melty, delicious texture again.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 days, warming briefly before serving.
