How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line a baking tray with butter paper or parchment paper.

If you want a slightly softer cookie texture, add baking soda and mix again. This step is optional.

Step 4: Shape the Cookies

Take 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a small ball. Place it on the baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Use a fork to gently press each cookie ball. You can press once or make a crisscross pattern for the classic peanut butter cookie look.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 9–11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake, because the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
