All things peanut butter are good in my book, and these chewy peanut butter cookies are no exception!
When baking these cookies do not flatten the dough balls. Leave them as rounds created by your cookie scoop and top them generously with granulated sugar.
They will look just set when you take them out of the oven. Don’t be tempted to cook them longer. After they cool for 5 minutes on the pan they will deflate slightly and you will be able to transfer them to a wire rack to cool. They will have a light golden coloured bottom when done.
