Peanut Butter Kiss Cookie Recipe Tips
Cookie Baking Tip
IMPORTANT: The trick to these cookies is to bake them just until the edges are brown and the cookies are still soft.
They’ll probably be baked as softer cookies than you’re usually used to baking.
But, the cookies will get crispy the more they sit after baking, so if you’re looking for a crispy peanut butter cookie, these are the ones!
Use An Ungreased Cookie Sheet
Do not grease the baking sheet!
I use a silicone baking mat like this, but you can also use parchment paper.

Sugar In Peanut Butter Cookies
Some people like to reduce the amount of sugar used because of the sugar in peanut butter.
You can try that, if you want less sugar, but I’ve never tried it that way so I can’t give any feedback on it.
