    If you use only 1 cup of peanut butter you will have peanut butter cookies that taste like peanut butter sand. Make sure to weigh the peanut butter instead of using 1 cup. I’m sure they will be good once I use the correct amount of pb.

  2. 5 stars
    I love the simplicity of these and the fact that I can change the recipe around a bit – I think I experiment with the sweetener amount and types.

    Can you freeze these?
    I’d like to meal prep for Christmas and freeze a few things before hand

  3. That seems like a lot of stevia – it’s 200 times stronger then sugar. Was that a typo maybe?
