Disneyland Peanut Butter Cookies Tips
One of the things I love about our recipes, you don’t have to chill the peanut butter cookie dough, so you can bake these up right away. But there’s no reason if you want to prep ahead to bake later, go ahead and scoop your dough balls out and roll in sugar. Seal tightly until ready to use, for up to 2 days.
- By chilling the dough, it will also make the cookies even thicker and you’ll have to increase your baking time a couple of minutes.
As far as sizes for these cookies, I used a medium cookie scoop
- Then if you want to coat cookies with sugar, place each ball in some sugar and roll it around to coat your cookie one at a time. Coat light or heavy depending on your preference.
You don’t want to over-bake these cookies, so depending on size, start with medium scoop sized cookies at 10-12 minutes. Large cookie scoop – 12-15 minutes and jumbo cookie size at 15-18 minutes.
After baking cookies, do not remove from cookie sheet until 5 minutes is up. They are very soft and tender after leaving the oven, so they need to set up before placing on wire rack
