My fiance just turned down a cookie, and I don't think that has EVER happened. It is either my cooking or the recipe. Since I followed the recipe exactly, except I threw in some chocolate chips, I think the recipe is faulty. Now I see that many others have agreed with me. I am just sorry that I wasted perfectly good chocolate chips and peanut butter. The cookies turned out too cakey, not peanut-buttery at all. Too bad.

I wish I would have read the reviews first! I made this with my friend and her mom thought we just made up the recipe. My dog wouldn't even eat them! They taste sour.

I wanted to make peanut butter cookies at 10pm because I had the ingredients and some spare time, I go online and find one that seems reasonable. Stupidly enough of me, I didn't even check to see if there were reviews because I was so anxious to bake. They look all right when you take them out of the oven, the batter tasted okay too. They smelled good, I let one cool off and bit into it and it barely had any taste at all! You couldn't taste any sugar or any peanut butter.

I did not read the reviews first because it got a few stars and I didnt expect them to turn out as bad as they did. Too much baking soda in the batter. I tried dusting with powdered sugar but it didnt help, the amount of baking soda ruins the taste, couldnt taste the vanilla or the peanut butter.

The recipe was much too creamy. It was fixed, in case anyone cares, by adding 1/2 cup more flour and 1/4 cup more peanut butter. I would still cut back on the baking soda. Use 1 teaspoon instead.

I agree I should have read the reviews first. I had never made peanut butter cookies. I was thorough in following the recipe exactly. The cookies were not what I would call chewy, but more like spongy. My husband bless his heart ate several before confessing they had a horrible after taste. I'm not exactly sure what to do to fix the recipe and make the cookies better. Instead I turned my lemons into lemonade. I froze the cookies, and then made them into fine crumbs for a pie crust. Great as a crust bad as a cookie. Sorry

We have attempted to "doctor" them by sprinkling white sugar granules over the top of the REFRIDGERATED dough prior to baking.

The recipie is wrong im sure because I did use a teaspoon intead of a tablespoon and it turned out fine it does need more taste maybe if you used more penut butter instead of butter it would have more taste.

This recipe has way too much baking soda, way too much vanilla, not enough peanut butter, and is very soupy. I would def not use this recipe again. It uses a lot of ingredients, such as 3 eggs and 3 tablespoons of vanilla, and doesn't yield much flavor at all. In fact, it leaves a baking soda aftertaste.

I think what the writer did here was to put "tablespoon" in place of "teaspoon" for the vanilla and baking soda. Of course it's not three tablesooons of vanilla extract! I think you'll agree that one teaspoon would work just about right for the soda, and 3 tsps for the vanilla...well perhaps a bit much, but nothing to make it a disaster. The cookies actualy turned out very nicely and extremely light and crisp (substituted crisco for butter - I think butter would have been overwelming at that amount). So give it another try with the amounts substituted.

Being that I'm 14, I'll consume just about anything put in front of me. Since my mom recently got home from the hospital, I thought I'd surprise her with her favorite cookie, Peanut Butter. Being that I've never made cookies from scratch before, I thought nothing of the 3 tablespoons of vanilla and the tablespoon of baking soda. However, the 1/4 cup of peanut butter caught me a tad off-guard. Reguardless, I followed the recipe as if it were holy. Once they were done, they looked a tad spongy, but, I tested them anyways, the bitter after-taste and just the taste of the cookie itself, just wasn't standable. Even trying to add more sugar and peanut butter couldn't help me save the second batch.

I just made these cookies and I followed the recipe exactly. These cookies were the grosest excuse for a cookie I've ever tasted in my entire life. They don't taste like peanut butter at all. They are extremely bitter and have a horrible aftertaste. GROSS!!!!! I wouln't even give it one star.

LOL! These are the most disgusting cookies I've ever put in my mouth. Unfortunately, I'm a poor college student and I need the calories, so I'm eating them anyway. But if you're not a glutton for punishment, then don't try this recipe!
