Notes
- Use brown sugar for a more fudgy cookie.
- For a bonus 4th ingredient, we found while testing this recipe that adding ½ teaspoon vanilla really enhanced the flavor and was preferred.
- These cookies are not as sweet as your typical peanut butter cookie. For sweeter, add another ⅓ cup sugar.
- For a lower sugar cookie, decrease sugar down to ½ cup.
- We tried this recipe with natural peanut butter and found that it works well! We recommend upping the sugar to 1 cup. We found while testing the natural peanut butter that the cookies were more crumbly.
