FAQs
1. Can I use natural peanut butter instead of Jif?
Yes, but natural peanut butter may change the texture, and you might need to adjust the sugar.
2. How do I know when the cookies are done?
The edges should be golden brown, and the centers may look a bit soft. They will firm up as they cool.
3. Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just make sure you have enough space on your baking sheets and enough dough to work with.
