🥄 Measure flour accurately using spoon-and-level or a kitchen scale.
🍽️ Cookies may be soft right out of the oven; cool completely on the baking sheet to firm up.
🍴 For sharper fork marks, gently press with a fork or skewer pulled away after pressing.
🥜 Use smooth, salted peanut butter for the best flavor; adjust sugar if using sweetened peanut butter.
🛢️ Stir natural peanut butter well before using to reincorporate separated oil.
❄️ Chilling dough is optional.
🧊 Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
