Notes

Baking Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies and What To Expect 

Your oven needs to be at 350° F. 
Every oven is different, mine always take 11 minutes to bake to perfection as pictured. 
Preheat your oven always! 
First, the balls will bake into a golden brown, and then they will crinkle 
So, I am telling you not to get NERVOUS when you bake these. 
Generally, I place my batch on the bottom shelf, and at 6 minutes, I move them to the middle shelf and put a new tray on the bottom. 
At the 11th minute, I take them out and let them set up for 3-4 minutes. 
As they sit, they firm up, and you will see their middles will look soft. 
In short, as they sit, they solidify THEN I lift them with a flat spatula right to the cooling tray.
