Notes
Don’t substitute the brown sugar for white sugar. You can use either dark or light brown sugar, but avoid using white sugar if you want to get chewy peanut butter cookies.
Do not try to substitute the egg, or your cookie will have less structure, be less chewy, and turn out flatter and crispier.
Avoid overbaking these cookies. If you're making smaller cookies (1 tablespoon), bake them for about 12 to 13 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges. Big cookies (2.5 to 3 tablespoons) take a bit longer, 15 to 16 minutes. Never bake for more than 18 minutes and always preheat your oven!
