  • “I am very disappointed with this recipe.I followed the instructions, but the ingredients wouldn’t stick together to form dough. I added an extra egg, and got some dough; however, it was grainy. Baked well, but very little peanut butter taste.TM”

  • “I love this recipe! I used white rice flour (gluten free house) added an extra egg and 2tbsp milk, 1 minute less cook time and these cookies are gluten free and taste like store b ought regular! Thanks!!!”

  • “Just baked these for hubby.We both loved them.Simple and delicious.Mine retained their shape and did not spread out too much, were slightly crisp with spongy centers – YUMMY!”

  • “Good recipe! When I bit into one, I thought it tasted like more of a muffin then cookie, the inside was spongy and moist while the outside was slightly crunchier. I added 1/4 cup of peanuts, very finely chopped.”

  • “I just made with with 3 kids I was babysitting.They each had thier own bowl and made it almost completley by themselves with me supervising.It was a total success and they were delicious!I didn’t have baking soda, so I used baking powder…wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but it was fabulous!”

  • “Good and easy. I put them in minimuffin cups and added a chocolate star on top once they were baked. I was worried because the dough seemed dry, but it turned out well.”
