👩🍳 Instructions
- Mix Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. - Chill the Dough:
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes. This helps firm up the dough, making it easier to handle. - Preheat Oven:

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. - Create Pattern (Optional):
Using a fork, gently press down on each dough ball to create a crisscross pattern on top. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. - Cool:
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
