Cover the balls with a light coating of sugar.\u00a0 (You can put some sugar in a plastic bag, drop a couple of the balls in at a time and gently shake them. As another option, you can just put some sugar on a plate and roll the balls in it.)<\/li>\n<li>Place the rolled dough on the parchment covered cookie sheet.\u00a0 Place them a couple of inches apart so that they have room to expand as they bake. To get that criss-cross pattern on your cookies, simply press each ball of dough down with a fork both horizontally and vertically.<\/li>\n<li>Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool.<br>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>\n<!-- Print This Section 1 End -->\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recipe Notes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>-The chocolate and sea salt toppings take these cookies to a greater taste level.\u00a0 Simply melt the best chocolate that you can find (I prefer milk chocolate) according to the package directions.\u00a0 Using a spoon, drizzle the chocolate over the warm peanut butter cookies. <br><br>Then, sprinkle a light dusting of sea salt over the peanut butter and chocolate cookies. \u00a0Let the cookies cool in the refrigerator for approximately 20 minutes.
