Are peanut butter cookies pressed or molded?

Here's why:

* Pressed cookies are made by pressing dough into a mold, creating a distinct shape (like a cookie cutter).

* Molded cookies are formed by rolling the dough into balls and flattening them slightly before baking. This is the standard method for peanut butter cookies.

While you might see recipes that suggest using a cookie press for peanut butter cookies, it's not the traditional or most common method.
