Notes
Storing and make ahead
Storing: Store the cookies in an airtight container or ziplock baggie at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to store them for longer, refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Make ahead: These cookies freeze really well, if you're looking to serve them at a later date or just have a cookie on hand whenever you need one, freeze them in a ziplock baggie for up to 3 months.What can I use instead of peanut butter?
If you have a peanut allergy don't like peanuts, you can swap peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or even sunflower seed butter for a nut free variation. Keep in mind, the flavor will change slightly depending on the substitute.Nutrition
