Recipe Tips
Use Creamy Natural Peanut Butter: The kind with just peanuts and salt works best for a gooey, soft center. If your peanut butter is super drippy, you can chill the dough briefly to help it hold shape.
Don’t Skip the Baking Soda: It may seem like a small amount, but it’s what gives these cookies that light chew and slightly puffed center.
Flatten the Dough Slightly: These cookies don’t spread a ton on their own, so press them down just a bit before baking for that classic cookie shape.
Let Them Cool Before Moving: They’ll be soft right out of the oven but will firm up as they cool. Give them 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
Ingredient Swaps: Coconut Sugar ? Use brown sugar or maple sugar for a similar rich sweetness. Egg ? Sub a flax egg (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp water, let sit 5 mins) for a plant-based option. Chocolate Chips ? Use chopped dark chocolate, dairy-free chips, or even peanut butter chips. Peanut Butter ? Try almond butter or cashew butter for a different nutty twist.
Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
Freezer: Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months; thaw at room temp or warm in the microwave for 10 seconds for that fresh-from-the-oven feel
