Using Ice cream scoop place six scoops on baking sheets covered with parchment paper (I always use silpat sheets).

Use hands to slightly flatten each scoop of dough.

Return to oven for 2 more minutes.

Cool on cookie sheet for five min then transfer to wire cooling rack.

KITCHEN NOTES

Natural, no sugar, peanut butter does not work as well in this recipe as Skippy or Kraft.

I also sometimes make them with flavoured peanut butters such as dark chocolate, or cinnamon toast flavors.

I get mine from the states but I think Whole Foods has some favoured ones.

If you can’t find the mini PB cups just cut up regular size ones into small pieces.

Makes 12 large cookies
