How do you make peanut butter cookies less crumbly? Creamy peanut butter is preferred for peanut butter cookies as it lends a smoother texture to the dough, resulting in a more cohesive and less crumbly cookie. On the other hand, crunchy peanut butter tends to make the cookies overly crumbly due to its thicker consistency and the presence of peanut pieces.
Why do Peanut Butter Cookies have fork marks? Peanut butter cookie dough is dense. By pressing the cross-hatch pattern on the dough balls, it flattens them and allows for more even baking. They will cook unevenly if you skip this step.
Why did my cookies fall apart? If your cookies are crumbly, you probably cooked them a tad too long. Next time, take them out of the oven as soon they no longer look wet. They will finish cooking on the baking sheet after you remove them from the oven.
