    • Stir the stiff dough well until thoroughly combined.

    • Use the tines of a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on top of each cookie.
    • Bake the cookies in a preheated 350-degree oven (not convection) for 20-22 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking process.
    • Or, if you like a softer cookie, bake in a 350-degree oven (not convection) for 12-15 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking process.

        Oooh, so sorry about the conflicting bake times, Diane! I'll fix that right away.
        Bake them in a 350-degree oven (not convection) for 20-22 minutes, or if you like a softer cookie, leave them in for less time. Maybe like 12-15 minutes (not convection).
        Thanks for bringing my error to my attention. I appreciate it.
        Take good care,
        Renee

      You make it sound so easy! I can easily say that peanut butter, chocolate, and cookies are the most acceptable and favorite food of any household 🙂 This recipe is a bonus as it takes only 5 ingredients to make them with an added bonus of being sugar-free. Very unique and wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
