Or, you can also choose to bake these cookies ahead and store them according to the directions above until serving.&nbsp;In fact, these are the kind of cookies that taste even better the next day once the flavors have really had time to meld together.&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1650500273288\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why are my peanut butter cookies tough?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you ended up with hard peanut butter cookies that usually means you baked them for too long. That&rsquo;s why I suggest pulling them out just before they look finished as they&rsquo;ll cook a little more while cooling on the baking sheet.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1650500316000\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use natural peanut butter to make cookies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I do not recommend using natural peanut butter in this peanut butter cookie recipe as it can cause the cookies to over-spread while baking. If you do decide to use natural peanut butter make sure you stir it up very well before using.&nbsp;<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1684101966341\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I make my peanut butter cookies smaller?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Sure, you can roll the dough into 1-Tablespoon size balls and reduce the baking time to about 10 minutes. <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More old-fashioned cookie recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a
