# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Three ingredients means no pantry hunt, no substitutions, just pure peanut butter bliss.
  • They bake in ten minutes flat, which somehow feels like cheating when they taste this good.
  • Gluten-free and dairy-free without tasting like a compromise, perfect for sharing with friends with restrictions.
02 -
  • Soft when hot means they're done; don't overbake them chasing crispness or they'll turn into hockey pucks.
  • Brown sugar creates depth and chewiness, while white sugar keeps them lighter—choose based on your mood.
03 -
  • Use natural peanut butter if you like a deeper, more authentic peanut taste—just stir the oil in first so it's fully incorporated.
  • If your cookies spread too much or too little, your oven temperature might be off; invest in an oven thermometer and eliminate the guessing.
