Tips & Substitutions
For a fun twist, consider adding mini chocolate chips or swapping out peanuts for walnuts or almonds. You can also use quick oats instead of corn flakes for a chewier texture. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend. Make sure your butter is softened for easy mixing, and don't overmix the dough to ensure tender cookies.
