Notes

Tips for the Best Muddy Buddy Cookies

✅ Use creamy peanut butter – It gives the cookies a smooth, rich texture.
✅ Don’t overbake – Cookies will firm up as they cool!
✅ Melt chocolate faster – Microwave chocolate chips for 10 seconds before spreading.
✅ For extra crunch – Add chopped peanuts or Rice Chex pieces!
✅ Chill dough for thicker cookies – Refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
