  • “One thing that makes em great for the holidays I after you cook them, During the cooling process add a Herseys Kiss to them and you have a great Peanutbutter Cookie for the Holidays.”

  • “I put crunchy peanut butter in since that was all I had on hand. I also used a small meat mallet to flatten. Be sure to leave enough room on the cookie sheet since they spread. My husband likes this cookie very much.”

  • “this is the best peanutbutter cookie recipe I have ever cooked in all my years.”

  • “I like this recipe as it’s so quick but to make the cookies a bit more luxurious I added about half a packet of Tollhouse peanut butter and chocolate chips.”

  • “Very good peanutbutter cookies!!DH’s favourite. I noticed the ingredients did not list baking powder but it is mentioned in the instructions, so I added 1/4 teaspoon, also there was no time given for chilling the dough, I chilled for 15 minutes, it certainly made it easier to handle. Regardless they are lovely cookies and I will make them again. I happened to have some unsalted peanuts on hand so for half the batch I placed a peanut in the middle.The cook time was perfect, turned out lovely golden brown. Thanks for sharing a good one.”

  • “Made these today at the request of my son. He loved them. Very easy to make. Will make again.”
