12. {Julias notes: I didnt line the cookie sheets with parchment paper since I didnt have any on hand.
13. I just lightly sprayed the pans with oil.
14. I didnt use the chopped peanuts.
15. Why use creamy peanut butter and then add chunky peanuts?
16. I like my PB cookies chunk free.
17. I used The Pampered Chef medium cookie scoop and it made 16 cookies with no extra batter.
18. Mine were perfectly baked in 12 minutes.}
