- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Top tips for Success
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for natural peanut butter and pure maple syrup for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill the Mixture: If the mixture is too sticky to roll into balls, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Customize to Taste: Add extras like chopped nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut to enhance flavor and texture.
FAQs
These cookies are designed to be enjoyed raw, but if you’d like to firm them up without baking, try freezing or refrigerating them for a few hours. Baking them might alter the texture since they lack ingredients typically used in baked cookies, like eggs or baking soda.
