Fol­low key steps to ensure the per­fect tex­ture for your three-ingre­di­ent peanut but­ter cook­ies. Start with room-tem­per­a­ture but­ter in a large bowl for eas­i­er mix­ing. The absence of much flour in this recipe con­tributes to the cook­ies’ soft­ness. Be mind­ful of the tem­per­a­ture; an oven ther­mome­ter can make a huge dif­fer­ence in achiev­ing that gold­en brown hue. Addi­tion­al­ly, con­sid­er adding an extra egg yolk for rich­ness and mois­ture, enhanc­ing the over­all fla­vor pro­file of your cook­ies.
