Notes
NOTE ON PEANUT BUTTER: This recipe has not been tested with all natural peanut butter, and I don't recommend using it here for best results.
NOTE ON FREEZING: You can make this dough in advance and store in a large zip top bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.
