Tips for making the cookies
Here are my tips, so yours turns out like this recipe!
- Tip 1: Make sure to spoon and level the flour. If you stick the measuring cup into the flour it can compact it, resulting in a cookie that doesn’t spread.
- Tip 2: Make sure to let the cookie dough sit for 10 minutes before scooping. This allows the gluten to absorb into the dough, and helps with spreading.
- Tip 3: Right after the cookies are out of the oven, top with a peanut butter cup. Then, let them cool for 4 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. The less time on the hot pan the better, so peanut butter cups don’t overly melt.
