Ingredients
Instructions
- Form the mixture into balls and press down with a fork.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, you can substitute half of the peanut butter with almond or cashew butter for a different flavor. Ensure your peanut butter is creamy for better texture. If you're looking for a lower sugar option, consider using a sugar substitute like erythritol, which works well in this recipe. Use a fork dipped in sugar to prevent sticking when pressing the cookies down.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own, but you can elevate them by serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a glass of cold milk. They also pair beautifully with a warm cup of coffee or tea. For a fun twist, try drizzling melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for added indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or enjoy them straight from the freezer for a cold treat.
