Instead of 3/4 cup of peanut butter, I used 3/4 cup of almond butter and added 1 1/2 teaspoons of almond extract. I was happy with the results. No problems – cookies were excellent.
Summary: Excellent.

Just baked a double batch of peanut butter crunchies to take to church tomorrow. They came out great… the designs didn’t melt away in the oven!

 

I rolled the balls of dough in granulated sugar and also dipped the cookie stamp in sugar before stamping, so I didn’t have any trouble with sticking.

 

Then I chilled the stamped dough on the cookie sheets (on parchment paper) for 30 minutes before baking at 350ºF for 15 min.
