Step 3 -

Boil for another minute stirring constantly and making sure that no bits stick to the bottom of the pan. Taste for salt - peanut butter is salty and these cookies ideally have just the right amount of salt.

Allow to cool for a minute or two while you line two trays with baking parchment. Take a tablespoon and scoop out a heaped tablespoon full and place on the tray. As the cookies cool, you can shape them so that they're more round.
