I loved these cookies! I cut back both sugars to 3/4 each and they turned out perfect - not too sweet with a perfect peanut butter taste! I'm terrible with a cookie press and I wasn't able to get mine to work, so I just rolled them into balls, flattened them with a fork and topped them with a few chocolate chips. Yummy!

I'm a beginner with the cookie press, but if you follow the recipe as it stands, this is very hard to work with the press. They also don't have much flavor and are just boring.

These were pretty good peanut butter cookies. They have the classic "sandy" texture and mine were slightly chewy in the center. The first batch I made burned but when I took them out after 8-9 minutes they were perfect. Decrease your baking time!

These really are melt in your mouth. I followed the recipe to the T and they are wonderful. I was looking for a crunchy cookie. I only got about 2 dozen. We like our cookies big. :)

I have made several different types of cookies for Christmas this year but I gotta tell you THIS COOKIE WAS THE BEST YET.(unbelieveably yummy)..I added mini chocolate chips to my batch and chilled the dough for about two hours...one batch made 79 cookies for me..I didn't use my cookie press though this recipe would have yielded GREAT pressed cookies and a lot more most likely than I wound up with...Instead I dropped teaspoons full of dough on my cookie sheet (I used one of those cookie scoopers)..WORKS WONDERFUL...I then criss crossed each cookie with a fork that I dipped in flour so dough wouldn't stick to the fork..I put 20 cookies on per sheet.I baked them for 14 minutes..these cookies are FABULOUS...I will be making another batch in a few days because I know they won't last long in my house for sure...they MELT IN YOUR MOUTH just like the title of the cookie says..THANK YOU so very, very much for sharing this recipe...HINT: if you don't have one of those cookie scoopers get cha one...(Wal-Mart has them)...they are really a GREAT kitchen tool for making cookies if you bake a lot of them like I do.

These are my absolute favorite Cookie Press Recipe! They are so good - and I dont' even like peanut butter cookies! They have a great texture and are just a fantastic addition to your cookie press recipe collection.

A long overdue rating. I've made these cookies for the past 2 Christmases and they are a big hit! Delicious and easy and excellent for the cookie press. Not heavy like typical peanut butter cookies, either. Light and crispy! They really do melt in your mouth!

The cookies were very good, but they were not melt in your mouth. I would say they were chewy. Thanks, anyways...

These were very good. I made the first batch at 8 minutes. They were a little too well done for our taste. The second batch I made at 6 minutes and boy were they "Melt in Your Mouth" good! Did not put in a press, just rolled in a ball and flattened which kept sticking to the fork even though I tried flour and then spraying it with Pam. Ended up just flattening with a bottom of a glass cup sprayed with Pam.

I am in love with this cookie! I was wanting to try something other than a traditional spritz cookie this christmas and I love peanut butter so I gave this a try. I followed the recipe exactly except used margarine instead of shortening and I only baked for 10 minutes exactly. They were chewy and soft and WONDERFUL. So depsite all the reviews, and the posters insistence that these aren't a chewy cookie, mine turned out perfect. Perhaps it was the shorter baking time. I highly recommend this cookie.

What a nice change from spritz for the cookie press! The 8 minutes was perfect in the oven.

Well, I wouldn't quite say 'melt in your mouth,' but they were tasty! I did a half-batch and, with my smallish cookie press, got about six dozen cookies! I substitute margarine and butter in place of shortening for lots of cookie recipes without problems, and that might help make these more melt-in-your-mouth wonderful. Also, I had to lower the oven to 350 and they only took 6 or 7 minutes. I had to chuck two pans of cookies that I baked for 9 minutes, they were black on the bottom! Oh, a warning: If there are any hard brown sugar lumps in the dough, they will likely clog up your press. I didn't think of it before filling the press with dough. Next time, I'll definitely make sure my brown sugar is lump-free! Thanks for sharing, Angie!

These were the first thing I made with my new cookie press, and they were really good - not too sweet, easy to press, quick to bake. The recipe made a million and I turned half of them into sandwich cookies with peanut butter and marshmallow cream. So good!

The worst recipe I have tried on here. I only made one batch of them and threw the rest of the dough away. They tasted like play dough. I thought it would be interesting to try a peanut butter cookie without brown sugar. I was wrong and will stick with the ones made with brown sugar.

What a great cookie! I used this recipe as my first cookie-press attempt...and it worked wonderfully! I did bake the cookies for only about 6 minutes and they turned out great. I plan on making this cookie for many years to come!
