Question 1

Can I use natural peanut butter in this cookie recipe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, natural peanut butter works well in this cookie. I do recommend stirring your peanut butter well before adding to the cookie dough; this helps ensure you don't just get oil in your cookies.

Question 2

Why do my peanut butter cookies get hard?

Accepted Answer

Hard peanut butter cookies probably mean they are over-cooked. To ward off over-cooked, over-crunchy cookies, start watching your cookies bake at about the 10-minute mark. You'll want to pull them just when the edges and tops start to brown (they might not look completely cooked, but they will set as they cool).

Question 3

Why should I chill my cookie dough?

Accepted Answer

Chilled dough is also less likely to spread (i.e. mark hard, thin cookies) during baking. If your dough doesn't easily form balls on the baking sheet, try chilling it for 15-20 minutes first.
