Crunchy or creamy: what’s the best peanut butter to use?

There are many different types of peanut butter, but the most popular are crunchy and creamy.

Crunchy peanut butter has small pieces of peanuts in it, while creamy peanut butter is smooth with no bits.

Some people prefer crunchy chunky peanut butter because they like the texture, while others prefer creamy because it’s smoother and has a milder flavor.

There isn’t really a right or wrong answer – it’s all about personal preference!

We love the crunch that chunks of peanuts give, so we use crunchy peanut butter.

Can I use any type of chocolate chips?

When it comes to baking with chocolate chips, there are a few things to consider.

First, not all chocolate chips are created equal.

There are a variety of brands, each with its own unique flavor and texture, we love these chocolate chips, they’re our all time favorites!

Second, not all recipes call for the same type of chocolate chip.

Some recipes call for semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, while others call for milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips.

Finally, the type of chocolate chip you choose depends on your preference.

If you’re looking for a classic chocolate chip that will work well in this recipe, go with semisweet chips.

Do I have to chill the cookie dough?

It’s not crucial to chill your cookie dough, we didn’t chill ours, we wanted a quick and easy recipe.

Naturally, if you prefer to, then please go ahead.

Why do you chill cookie dough?

When it comes to making cookies, there are a variety of methods and techniques that can be used, and we use both ways in our cookie recipes.

Chilling the dough can help the cookie to hold its shape better when it is baked. This is especially helpful if you are using a recipe that requires shaping the dough into shapes.

Chilling the dough can also help to produce more consistent results since it will cook more evenly.

You’ll also find that chilling the dough can help to prevent it from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in cookies that are thicker and more uniform in size. How do I store leftover peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?

How do I store leftover peanut butter chocolate chip cookies?

You can store your cookies in an airtight container for up 3 days and they’ll also freeze for up to 3 months.
