TIPS FOR MAKING PEANUT BUTTER PREACHER COOKIES
- To make sure your boiling water is getting to the right temperature, you can use a thermometer and wait until the water gets to 230 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the mixture is at a rolling boil before setting the one minute timer.
- These cookies may take a while to set up. Usually it takes around 45 minutes for them to fully set up.
- Be sure to prep and measure your ingredients first before starting the process of making the cookies. This will make it easier and more efficient!
CAN I ADD OTHER INGREDIENTS TO PREACHER COOKIES?
If you’re looking to spice up or add other ingredients to your peanut butter cookies, consider adding chopped nuts, M&M’s, or even dried fruit!

CAN I USE NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER IN PREACHER COOKIES?
It’s not recommended to use a natural peanut butter for this preacher cookie recipe because it does not have the correct consistency for the cookies.
Natural peanut butters can leave the cookies dry and crumbly, so a creamy or even crunchy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy is the best option.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO STORE THE COOKIES?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Preacher cookies can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Just make sure to thaw the cookies before serving.
