Very good cookies. Though I have others that I prefer to these, there's absolutely nothing wrong with them. They have a delicous peanut butter flavor with a dash of chocolate taste. I used half creamy, half crunchy peanut butter, and added a spoonfull more than the recipe called for. I also used a few peanut butter chips b/c I had some left over from another recipe. I only had 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips around the house, so I added another cup of milk chocolate chips. Lastly, I only bake with Lite margarine and it never seems to affect the taste of the final product. The cookies came out great after 13 minutes in the oven. Yummy and gooey!

These cookies are very good. Nice, crispy texture and not too flat. Made them a few weeks ago and still have 1/4 of a cookie jar left. We still prefer traditional chocolate chip cookies.

This is an excellent recipe! I followed the directions closely, my only 2 alterations were using salted butter (I'm a bad cook, it was all I had in the house!) and adding 1 tsp of vanilla as recommended. I baked each batch for 14 minutes, and let them sit a few before taking them off. I was worried at first because the dough seemed a bit too soft to me, but they turned out wonderfully! Soft, a bit crumbly, and the hit of the party!

This is really a great cookie recipe! As another baker had suggested I added 1/4 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. vanilla and they came out wonderful. I have to say I was tempted to let them stay in the oven a while longer than recommended because they just looked too uncooked but they werent...let them sit a minute...they have a nice delicate texture. Everyone who tried them loved them.

This recipe was GREAT! The cookies were nice and chewy, not too hard or too soft. Like recommended, we add a tsp. of vanilla. We made half a batch, thinking that even 24 would be too much, but they magically disappeared in about 3 days! Yum!

This is a great recipe. To make a crunchier cookie put only 1/2cup of butter with less the fat

Great texture & flavor! Did not spread out too much like some cookies. I used butter instead of margarine & mini chocolate chips instead of regular. My kids & husband loved them. Will definitely make these again.

Mary, thanks for sharing Aunt Cora's recipe! They were so tastey! I made 1 batch according to the recipe and one batch with 1/3 cup roasted salted peanuts and 1t vanilla. Try the variation, they really enhance the peanut butter flavor!

These cookies are fanfreakingtastic!! I used powdered egg replacer in place of the eggs (I'm vegan and don't eat eggs.), and that worked fine. Other than that I used the ingredients and measurements listed in the recipe. Next time, I'll probably use a few less chocolate chips (just a little too much for me). Definitely give these a try if you love peanut butter and chocolate!

I've been using this recipe for years and it always gets rave reviews. I did find that you have to use the full fat versions of ingredients to get the best flavor. I prefer making these to regular chocolate chip cookies.

My family LOVES these cookies. I make some in regular size for the little folks and use large scoop for the rest of us. I always make a double batch. I use chunky peanut butter and use the whole jar for a double batch:)

These cookies are soft and delicious! Changes I made to recipe: used 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup shortening, added 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt. I also used chocolate chunks because that's what I had on hand. Cookies are done baking when just lightly browned around the edges even though they look like they could use a few more minutes. Mine were puffy but deflated when I set down the cookie sheet. I did not remove them from the sheet for several minutes so they were firm enough to not fall apart. Excellent!

Didn't realize I hadn't put in a review on this yet, but I've been making these cookies for quite a few years. They are always a hit! I use crunchy peanut butter. They are the best. I have passed this recipe on to many friends who requested it! In fact, I got this from a friend.. they way I found this site many years back (Thanks Heather!). YUM!!

These did not seem like they would be very spectacular because of their simplicity. But they were!! Very rich and chewy, but for those who thought they did not have much flavor, my suggestion would be to add 1 tsp. of vanilla and 1/4 tsp. salt and just make sure you take them out of the oven when the middles look underdone but the outside just starts to turn brown. Let them cool a minute and they firm up fast.

This recipe was strange. The batter was peanut butterylicious. Was really looking forward to eating the cookies! They came out of the oven, and after they were cool enough to eat without burning my mouth, I tried one. It was completely flavorless except for the chocolate chips...no cookie taste at all. After sitting for a while, I thought I'd try another one, since I read a review saying they tasted better after sitting. I would have to agree, that there was a little more flavor after sitting. However, I feel that nothing beats eating a cookie fresh out of the oven, so I won't be making these again.

A little bland on the peanut butter, but the texture was great and the p.b. taste came out a little when they had sat overnight.

While making these cookies, I tasted the dough and thought these cookies would be the most amazing cookies ever but once baked, what a let down! Not exciting, just an average chocolate chip cookie with a hint of peanut butter. The dough was very sticky and I actually chilled it to make it easier to work with.
