Cooking Guide
- → Can I use other nut butters instead of peanut butter?
Yes, almond butter or sunflower seed butter work well as substitutes, though the flavor will differ slightly.
- → Is chilling the dough necessary before baking?
No chilling is required, making the preparation quick and straightforward.
- → How do I get the classic cracked edges on these treats?
Rolling the dough balls in extra sugar before baking enhances cracking and adds a slight crunch.
- → What is the best way to store these cookies?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- → What kind of chocolate works well for the topping?
Standard chocolate kiss candies melt softly and create a charming center, but any similar chocolate candy can be used.
