For best results, use a good quality creamy peanut butter. Avoid natural peanut butter, as it can make the cookies too oily.
Do not overbake the cookies, as they will become dry and crumbly. They should still be slightly soft in the center when you remove them from the oven.
For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
Add a pinch of sea salt to the dough to enhance the peanut butter flavor.
Get creative with add-ins! Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a swirl of jam can take these cookies to the next level.
