Notes

  • Do not overbake – cookies continue baking on the tray after removal from oven.
  • Use only creamy peanut butter (not natural or oily types).
  • Spoon and level the flour to avoid dry dough.
  • Press extra candies on top before baking for a colorful finish.
  • You can freeze the dough for later baking.
