These cookies were very easy to make but I wasn't very impressed with the final product. The batter was crumbly and it was hard to get a nice shaped cookie. I had left over peanut butter chips in the bottom of the bowl that I didn't have enough cookie batter to mix with. The cookies tasted OK right out of the oven but after they're cooled they're little rocks. Definitely not cookies your can freeze.

Made these for a cookie exchange at work. Most people loved them (peanut butter chips did not agree with everyone). But they were fast and easy and very tasty. An alternative would be to add coconut or nuts instead of the PB chips for a less sweet taste.

I just made these cookies last week. This is a simple recipe, with simple results. I used chocolate chips instead of peanut butter. They came out perfect. There is nothing bad tasting obout these cookies, just nothing spectacular. If you are looking for something with some "oomp" in it, this is not the recipe.

I thought this recipe sounded good, but was sorely disappointed. I made them for my usual Christmas basket giveaways to friends and relatives, and will now actually have to throw them away. They came out of the oven absolutely perfect, and I tried one while it was still warm...heavenly, BUT, once the cookies had cooled completely, they were dry and crisp and hard. The only way to eat them now is to zap them in the microwave for 15 or 20 seconds. Definitely not going into my Christmas baskets.

These cookies are terrible. Who wants a cookie that only tastes good 5 minutes out of the oven and then proceeds to become as dry and brittle as a cracker? I baked these to give away as Christmas cookies and ended up throwing away the entire batch for fear that my friends would think I was a bad baker. Don't bother.

These cookies had a good taste but I like a much chewier cookie. These seemed dry and crumbly. 10 minutes was too long to bake--I burnt the first batch then cut down to 8 minutes.

I overcooked the first batch. They tasted burned, but didn't look it because of their dark color. Luckily, it is a big recipe and after I figured out that 10 minutes was exactly right in my oven, there were still plenty of great cookies left!

This recipe was very easy to make, but still not worth the effort. I first thought that there were too many peanut butter chips in the recipe because I ended up with a ton of unused chips in my mixing bowl that I had to just stick in the tops of the cookies. But, after tasting the finished product, I realized that the cookies were extremely plain and dull tasting unless you had a bunch of peanut butter in each bite. I liked the cake-like texture(but I did not taste them again after they cooled). This was not a bad recipe, just not a good one. Would be ideal if you like bland food.

I did enjoy these cookies & they were super-easy to make. My mother has a book of recipes that use cake-mixes as a base, so the concept was not new to me... The baking time did need to be fiddled with a bit. First tray that went into the oven was 10 minutes, bottoms a little dark, & the chips were browned on top. Second tray...9 minutes...basically the same look. Tried the last tray @ 7 minutes & they were perfect...middles were a little un-done, but the next day they were still soft & delicious.

Try using different flavors or cake mixes with different flavors of chips.
