Some Helpful Tips:
- I added chocolate chips to the flattened dough while on the cookie sheet. This gave a more chocolatey taste (peanut butter can be overpowering).
- Don’t flatten the cookies too much (they’ll spread while cooking). For a big cookie make big balls. 🙂
- Watch your cooking time. They may not look done but if you want your cookies crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside this is an important aspect! Approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
- I experimented using the heat only from the bottom and another batch from both the top and bottom. The cookies turned out the best with the bottom setting.
