• 5 using a fork, mark grids on the top of each cookie, dipping the fork in water after each cookie.
• 6 bake for 11-12 minutes, until just beginning to brown on the edges.
• 7 cool on wire rack.
• 8 note: i use natural, salted peanut butter. you get a more buttery cookie by using the natural peanut butter, since it doesn’t have all that extra sugar. the cookie will also be more brittle/crumbly if you use processed peanut butter, so i would recommend adding an extra tablespoon of butter.
