Recipe FAQ
- → What makes these cookies soft?
The creamy peanut butter and the combination with sugar and egg create a moist dough that yields tender cookies.
- → Can I substitute the peanut butter?
Yes, almond or sunflower seed butter can be used for a different flavor or to avoid peanuts, though texture and taste may vary.
- → Do I need to chill the dough before baking?
No chilling is required. The dough can be mixed and baked immediately for a quick process.
- → How do I get the chocolate kiss to stick properly?
Press the chocolate kiss into each cookie immediately after removing them from the oven so it softens and adheres as the cookie cools.
- → Can I add a crunchy texture?
Rolling the dough balls in extra sugar before baking adds a subtle crunch and a bright finish to the cookies.
