Ingredients Notes
Peanut Butter
This recipe will work with natural peanut butter and “regular” peanut butter. However, if you use the natural variety and your dough seems a bit too oily, simply add a smidgen ( about a tablespoon) extra of flour to absorb it.
Coarse Sugar
I use raw turbinado sugar for these. See recipe card for brand. But, regular granulated white sugar will do the job with no issues.

Storage
- Keep any leftover cookies in a covered container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within 2-3 days.
- If desired, you can freeze these cookies. Let them cool completely. Then, store in an airtight container/storage bag (freezer safe) in the freezer. They will be good for a couple of months.
