Instead of using the tines of a fork to flatten down cookies (or flattening them with your hand), use the decorative bottom of a glass or Tupperware container. Search through your cabinets and pantry to see what you can find!
I used a cut crystal glass for the regular peanut butter cookies. The monster peanut butter cookies are about 4" across, so first I flattened them with a plastic lid and then went back and used the decorative crystal glass in the center. I used a heart cookie stamp for the lemon snaps.
Another TIP: I roll the cookie dough balls in sugar before I press or stamp them.
