Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, use creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy. If you need a sugar substitute, try using coconut sugar or a sugar-free alternative. For added flavor, consider incorporating a pinch of sea salt or a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you want to make these cookies a bit more indulgent, fold in some dark chocolate chips or even drizzle with Bourbon Sauce after baking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different nut butter instead of peanut butter?
Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter if you prefer. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly, but it will still yield delicious cookies. Make sure to choose a nut butter that is creamy and unsweetened for the best results.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
This recipe is already gluten-free as it doesn’t use any flour. Just ensure that the sugar you use is gluten-free. You can also check the labels of your peanut butter and pecans to confirm they are processed in a gluten-free facility, ensuring no cross-contamination.
What can I do if my cookie dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky to roll, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm up the dough, making it easier to handle. If it’s still sticky after chilling, consider adding a small amount of additional sugar or nut butter to adjust the consistency.
