Mixture of ingredients produced a fantastically tasty result. Following the advice of other reviewers, reduced the vanilla extract by half the amount (1 tbsp must really be a typo error). Cookies turned out very sweet, perhaps a bit too sweet for my liking but still that doesn't put me off from eating more. Still thought the vanilla extract might've been a bit too overpowering even given the reduced amount so will try reducing sugar and the vanilla the next time. Cookies disappeared very fast when offered to friends though :)

These are good and easy to make. The texture was great but it needs more of a peanutty taste. I think I will use crunchy peanut butter next time.

Surprisingly this recipe is the same like what I usually made. The different is this one contains more peanut butter which I don't mind at all :-) I must admit this peanut butter cookies are really delicious. I've made this cookies with my version several times now and I definitely will try this one too. But for a mouth watering looking cookies I add 1/2 cup peanut (skinless peanut, toasted and crushed)and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. sllluurrrp, my mouth has already watering, cannot wait to make this again.

My son and I made these cookies and it easy, fun and turned out great! I used crunchy peanut butter instead. I was also out of baking soda, so i made my own mix of baking powder and cream of tartar (2 parts cream of tartar to 1 part baking soda) as a substitute and texture came out wonderful. Definately be making these more often.

I am really enjoying these cookies. I am not sure that it is the best recipe in the world, but they are so similar to the peanut butter cookies that I ate as a child, I have to give them at least four stars. Be sure to not overcook these because they will be very dry. I also topped each cookie with some leftover toffee chips that I had and I am glad I did.

These stay nice and moist in the center, but they aren't as good as I'd hoped :(

I have never eaten many peanut butter cookies. I didn't know for sure that I even liked peanut butter cookies until I tried these one night. They are great! The only change that I made was that I used 3/4 tbs. vanilla instead of the full tbs. that recipe calls for. Remember to soft bake. gena

Although these cookies have great flavor I found them a bit dry, even wit the suggested subitutions. Now I live at altitude 9454 so given that might have something to do with it as well. I added mini chocolate chips to the second batch and baked the for 8 minutes flat and they seemed to be better. But over all good easy recipe. Thanks

I made these cookies exactly following the instructions, and they are wonderful. They are not the typical pressed peanut butter cookies with tons of peanut butter, but they are light and wonderful, and not overpoweringly rich. I will definitely make them again.

These really are delicious and the best! My daughter used this recipe in a church baking contest last summer and won first place! We've been making these cookies ever since. The only changes we make is using Butter flavored Crisco, whole wheat flour and adding peanut butter/chocolate swirled chips. Yummy!! These never last long at our house!
