Question 1

Can I use natural peanut butter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but natural peanut butter may make the cookies more crumbly. Stir well and add 1-2 tablespoons of flour if needed.

Question 2

Can I make these cookies without egg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, substitute the egg with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water (let sit for 5 minutes).

Question 3

How do I store these cookies?

Accepted Answer

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Question 4

Can I use chunky peanut butter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, chunky peanut butter adds texture. The cookies will still hold together.

Question 5

Why are my cookies too dry?

Accepted Answer

Overbaking or using too much peanut butter can cause dryness. Bake just until edges are set and cool completely.

Can I reduce the sugar?

You can use 3/4 cup sugar, but the cookies will be less sweet and slightly more crumbly.

Question 7

Are these cookies gluten-free?
