Notes

We like moderate sugar so, I have used 1/3 cup sugars (both) in the recipe. Also since the cookies are rolled in sugar and also there is chocolate so I used less amount. You can use 1/2 cup (both the sugars) in the recipe.
  • Keep a check on the amount of flour used in the recipe. When measuring from cup level it up or use a measuring scale. More flour to butter ratio gives a dry cookie.
  • Do not overmix the dough when folding. Overmixing also gives drier cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 1 hr. Chilling prevents the overspreading of dough.
  • Check the oven temperature, too hot oven will give you flat cookies.
  • Mix peanut butter nicely before using in the recipe.
