Notes
Recipe Tips 🍪
• Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture and easiest mixing.
• Natural peanut butter can be used, but be sure to stir it well before measuring.
• Do not overcook in the microwave—the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
• For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt.
• Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before handling, as they will be soft when first removed from the microwave.
• Flatten the dough slightly before cooking to help the cookies bake evenly.
• Add chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a fun variation.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Note: Microwave cooking times may vary depending on the wattage of your microwave, so keep a close eye on the cookies and adjust the time as needed.
