I loved these cookies! My major complaint about pb cookies is that they don't taste enough like peanut butter--these are rich and very peanutty. I found that at 8 minutes in the oven, the cookies are chewy and fudgy. At 10 minutes, the center of the cookie remains chewy, but the edges get crumbly and the cookie practically turns to powder in your mouth. If you've made them but wished the texture was different, I'd suggest playing around with the baking time. Great recipe!
Update: Having made these a couple of times now, I'm going to strongly disagree with the reviewers who suggest using natural peanut butter. I think the dough is MUCH easier to work with using the cheap stuff. I appreciate the sentiment, and if I were eating a pb sandwitch, I'd use the natural stuff, but Jif or an off-brand, with its uniform (albeit processed) consistency is a better choice for a somewhat finicky dough. Also, this dough does NOT age well--make the cookies immediately. I found that even a few hours in the fridge were enough to make the dough impossible to roll. And keep it covered between batches! Still my favorite pb cookie recipe.
