Using a cookie dough scooper or making the dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in white granulated sugar if you desire and place on to baking sheet. Gently press the cookie to about 1/2 inch.
Bake for 8-9 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack.
These keep well for a couple of days in an airtight container.
I prefer to use crunchy peanut butter. I like the texture it gives the cookie
Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt. If you’re using a natural Peanut butter, it may have less salt. So you’ll need to add a bit more salt.
If you don’t have a cookie dough scooper, you can use spoons. I have several sizes to keep the cookies the same size and shape.
