FAQ Section
1. Can I use natural peanut butter in this recipe?
It’s best to avoid natural peanut butter for this recipe, as its higher oil content can make the dough too greasy. Stick with regular, creamy peanut butter for the best results.
2. Can I add other mix-ins to the cookies?
Absolutely! You can get creative with mix-ins like chopped nuts, peanut butter chips, or even toffee bits. Just make sure not to add too many extras, as it could overwhelm the dough.
3. How should I store the cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them extra soft, you can place a slice of bread in the container with the cookies. The bread will help maintain moisture.
4. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. Make sure the rest of your ingredients, such as the baking soda and chocolate chips, are also gluten-free.
5. Why did my cookies turn out dry?
Dry cookies are usually a result of overbaking or using too much flour. Be sure to measure the flour properly (spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off) and bake the cookies just until the edges are set and the centers are still soft.
