Should You Chill the Dough before Baking?

No, there is no need to chill your dough before baking. However, if you want to make the dough in advance to save time, you can do that. Chilling the dough in advance will not affect the taste and texture of the cookies; they will taste just as nicely.

Alternative Suggestions

Peanut Butter:

  • I would recommend Creamy Peanut Butter, but you can also use Chunky. However, if you are using Natural Peanut Butter, just make sure it is properly mixed before adding.
  • I would not recommend you to use sweetened Peanut Butter, but if you only have that in hand, just try and reduce the amount of sugar you are adding to the mixture to give it a nice salty and sugary taste.
  • You can use any brand you like.

Brown Sugar:

  • You can also use light or dark brown sugar in this recipe; however, dark brown sugar will just give the cookies a more caramel-like flavor.

Pro Tips for Otis Spunkmeyer Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

  • It is preferred that you only bake the cookies till the edges start to change the color. The rest will continue baking with the internal heat left in the cookies after being pulled out of the oven.
  • Let the cookies stay for a while after you take them out of the oven, as the cookies are VERY soft as soon as they are baked. Let them cool and enjoy the deliciousness.
  • Remember not to throw your vanilla beans away. They are a great ingredient for making vanilla sugar, and also if you want to infuse them into creams for desserts.
  • Do not forget to sterilize your knife and surface when processing so that you can avoid any kind of cross-contamination or spoilage.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week and enjoy your treats now and then.
