How to store Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies:

Keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They also taste amazing stored in the fridge. They’ll last about a week!

Scooping your cookie dough:

These cookies are big! We love the Good Cook Ice Cream Scoop for scooping out perfect uniformed cookie dough balls. The cookie dough balls measure about 3 Tablespoon in size and about 3.5 inch diameter x 1/4 to 3/8th inches thick. The trick is to bake them for a short time (see recipe) and then let them sit on the hot pan out of the oven for a good 20 minutes. They will continue to bake from the heat of the pan, yet they will stay soft with less time in the oven.
