How to make Giant Peanut Butter Cookies
Tips from the cook
- Chill the dough for the full 20 minutes, so the cookies keep their thickness and do not spread thin.
- Weigh or measure the dough scoops, so every cookie is the same size and bakes evenly.
- Take them out while the centre still looks a little soft, as they keep setting on the tray.
- Roll the balls in the sugar before flattening, so the sugar forms a crackly crust.
Step by step with timers, in your shopping list in one tap.
Meal prep and storage
Keep in a tin for up to 4 days, and freeze the dough balls for baking later.
