They were thin and sweet, maybe three quarters on the sugars. I made them without the coconut. The next time I will go with three quarters on the brown sugar and three quarters on some splenda instead of white sugar. they were good; I ate two of them immediately. I could get fat off these cookies, but I'm going to restrain myself to two a day.

These cookies turned out hard and dry. They were OK, but not my favs.

Awesome cookies, made just as directed and they were DA' BOMB!! I added mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to the last batch and they were great! Thank you Carol for the best peanut butter cookies I've ever had!!

I lost my old peanut butter cookie recipe so I used this one. I was disappointed. These cookies came out too crispy for my tastes - I would have preferred something chewier. Also, the dough was not very thick so I couldn't put the traditional fork lines on the cookie. (Little things like that mean something to me.) All in all, it was just a mediocre cookie, not great but certainly not bad. I won't use this recipe again.

This cookie batter is so good that I only made one batch of actual cookies and ate the dough for the rest of the week! Since I like my cookies soft, I took the advice of other posters and used half brown sugar and half maple syrup. I also added some baking powder and milk and increased the pb. Then I baked for 12 mins at 350. The only thing I will change for next time will be to add more coconut. Fantastic!

I used a similar recipe. I made the following substitutions - Instead of rolling the balls in coconut flakes, I used confectionary sugar. Instead of brown sugar I used maple syrup. I also baked them on a stone. I baked them for appx. 13-14 minutes on 350. They came out perfect and stayed soft. Any thoughts if this was caused by the maple syrup?

This recipe is ok as it is, however the cookies come out very flat and a little crunchy. I add 1/2 cup of flower, and 1/2 cup of peanut butter, then cook at 350 for 10 min. This makes for a light soft and VERY tasty cookie!
