Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. You can substitute honey for corn syrup or use almond butter instead of peanut butter for a different flavor. If you're looking to reduce sugar, consider using half the amount of brown and white sugars and adding a bit of unsweetened applesauce to maintain moisture.
