# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They actually taste incredible with barely any ingredients or fussing—no elaborate technique required.
  • Your kitchen will smell like a peanut butter dream for hours after baking.
  • Naturally gluten-free and dairy-free without tasting like a health food sacrifice.
02 -
  • These cookies are deceptively soft when they first come out—resist the urge to eat one immediately or you'll burn your mouth and miss the actual texture.
  • Overbaking them even by a minute turns them crispy instead of chewy, so set a timer and trust it.
03 -
  • Chill your dough for 15 minutes before baking if your kitchen is warm—it prevents them from spreading too thin.
  • The crisscross pattern isn't just decorative; it creates thin edges that set properly while keeping the center soft and chewy.
