The best peanut butter cookies I have ever made. Putting the dough into the fridge is a must! I even made sure to put it back in to the fridge between batches, otherwise it gets too gooey to roll into balls for baking. Even the raw dough was delicious! I almost made myself sick eating the leftover dough and the hot cookies from the oven. Will make these time and time again!

Very good recipe for Peanut Butter cookies with a good serving amount. The dough in the fridge is a must. You can add broken peanuts to regular peanut butter with good results.

These were a HUGE hit both at work and with my boyfriend, who is somewhat of a peanut butter cookie connoiseur. As recommended, I increased the PB and flour and added vanilla too. Perfect!

This was the best PB cookie recipe I've ever come accross! I did fallow the advice of other reviews and added 1/2 cup more of both PB and Flour. I also added a dash of vanilla just because it goes against my religion to make cookies without vanilla LOL. But that's really the only changes I made. Oh! and I made one batch just putting them on the sheet. But then on the next, I rolled them into little balls and coated them with suger. Was glad I did..the result was AWESOME cookies! And they were picture perfect! I'll most likely never make them any other way again! Thanks for an awesome recipe! :)

This recipe is pretty good for basic peanut butter cookies. They're best if you press a chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie right when you take it out of the oven to make peanut butter blossoms. I also roll the balls of dough in sugar before placing them on the cookie sheet. Peanut butter blossoms are a family favorite for us, especially around the holidays.

Great!! I used more flour and peanut butter as some other reviewers suggested. I took it to a church youth activity, everyone loved it!! I would say that if you add extra flour, add equal amounts of extra PB, otherwise it gets crumbly and hard to roll into cookies.

The cookies spread a lot so I recommend reducing the butter to 3/4c or increasing the flour to 3 cups. Otherwise, very tasty!

Awesome cookies, turned out perfectly. To avoid thin cookies make sure you refrigerate them, otherwise they will be thin. =) Awesome cookies!!!

these were some good peanut butter cookies. i actually halved this recipe so i increased the peanut butter and the flour by 1/4 cup. even though i only made half the recipe called for i still came out with 3 dozen cookies. i made half normally and half with dark chocolate hershey kisses pressed into the middle. make sure to refrigerate thoroughly before you bake these guys or else you can hardly shape them into balls.

wonderful and simple to make, especially with the aid of a stand mixer. definitely increase the amount of peanut butter by 1/4-1/2 cup.

This is the first time that I made peanut butter cookies and they turned out so good! I was very proud of myself, but I have Shirley to thank for the great recipe! I didn't have unsalted butter or baking powder, so I just used regular butter (cut the salt ingredient to 1/4 teaspoon) and no baking powder and they still turned out good. I have a tip - if you spray your fork with some PAM before pressing it in the cookie it won't stick and mess up the design.

OH. MY. HECK. No doubt the best peanut butter cookies I ever did eat! They kept real well and were soft even the next day. I did add about a fourth cup extra peanut butter but it could do without. It even made more than the two dozen it said it was! Although one thing that made it better was chocolate chips! Which I did after I made half the cookies.
