Chef’s Tips
✅ Freeze the filling so it stays gooey without leaking.
✅ Don’t overbake—the cookies continue cooking as they cool.
✅ Use room-temperature butter for a smoother dough.
✅ Warm leftover cookies for 10–15 seconds in the microwave before serving.
Common Mistakes
❌ Not sealing the dough completely around the filling.
❌ Overbaking the cookies.
❌ Skipping the chilling step.
❌ Using natural peanut butter, which can separate during baking.
