How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies

10. Which is better? Smooth or chunky peanut butter?

While many people argue over the virtues and vices of smooth and chunky peanut butter, when it comes to peanut butter cookies the answer is entirely up to you. The most important thing to look for when choosing a peanut butter for your cookies isn't whether it's smooth or chunky. No matter what you want a thick peanut butter that is well integrated so that the oils aren't separated from the peanut butter! It's hard to mix the two back together again and if the oil isn't fully absorbed back into the peanut butter before you use it in your cookies it can affect how they turn out!
