Tips and Advice

If you prefer chewier cookies, slightly reduce the baking time.
For an even bolder taste, you can add a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
If you don't have crunchy peanut butter, you can use creamy peanut butter, but the texture will be less crunchy.
Consider freezing the cookie dough if you want to prepare cookies in advance. The dough can be kept in the freezer for about 2 months.
