Cooking Instructions:

8. Crisscross Pattern: To create the classic peanut butter cookie crisscross pattern, take a fork and gently press down on each cookie ball twice at a 90-degree angle.
9. Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
