Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Variation: Spread 1 to 2 teaspoons chocolate frosting between bottoms of two cookies and press lightly for Chocolate-Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies.
  • Tip 2
    Special Touch: Give a new look to peanut butter cookies by pressing the bottom of a cut-crystal glass, metal meat tenderizer, potato masher or cookie stamp into cookies before baking. Whichever one you use, be sure to dip it in sugar each time you press a cookie.
