Using a spoon, scoop between 1-1.5 tablespoons of dough and form into a small ball.
Drop the cookie dough balls unto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Repeat until the rest of the dough has been used up (you may need 2 baking trays).
Make sure each cookie ball is about 1.5 inches away from the others.
Using a fork, press down on the cookie ball to flatten it. The repeat in the opposite direction so you end up with criss-cross marks. Continue till all the cookies are flattened.
Sprinkle on the best ever sea salt flakes, then bake in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are browning.

Make sure the cookie dough balls are a similar size so that they cook at the same rate.
If you want your cookies to brow evenly than turn the tray half way through cooking.
Cooking times will vary on how much you flatten the dough. Start with the lowest cooking time and then add a few minutes more according to your taste.
Use other flavourings to your taste, example cinnamon extract or other spices.
You can swap almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter.
Please do let cookies cool on the sheet (transferred to a cooling rack), otherwise they will break if you try and remove them before then.
