  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the peanut butter until it is smooth.

  7. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let them cool until firm.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze with parchment paper between cookies to prevent sticking. Boil for exactly one minute for proper setting.
