Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies
When it comes to peanut butter, it's usually a safe bet, right? However, in this particular scenario, there is a potential for things to go awry. To achieve the best results, it is absolutely crucial to use smooth, processed peanut butter when making these cookies. All-natural peanut butter, the kind that tends to separate in the jar, can vary in texture and lack the necessary homogeneity. This inconsistency can significantly impact the texture of the cookie and make it challenging for them to set properly.
