I almost gave up trying to make pb cookies because I can never find a good recipe for them. After reading the reviews I decided to try this one. I am so happy I did! The only changes I made was adding 3/4 a cup of pb because I like mine a little richer, and I only cooked them for 8 minutes. They were soft and fabulous! Thanks so much Linda for submitting this recipe.

Best peanut butter cookies I've ever made, and probably ever had before. My husband likes them. I didnt bother sprinkling sugar on top. They were sweet without it. I did put one Ghiraldi natural White chocolate chip on the top of each cookie after I forked them down. 375 seemed like it was a little too hot for my oven. I took them out at 10 mins and they were well browned on the bottom, but soft on top. A couple more minutes may have burned the bottoms. Oh, yes and I used white whole wheat flour and Florida Crystals sugar instead of white sugar and an energy egg replacer instead of real egg. I replace with those in all my baked goods. Yum, Yum....

This is a great base recipe to work with if you are trying baking cookies from scratch for the first time (like me). I read a few reviews and based in some of the feedback I made a few tweaks. I used 3/4 cup of chunky peanut butter, added an additional 1/4 cup of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon just for a little spice. See, I love a peanut butter cookie that is soft yet has a light crisp when you bite into it, thats what I got with these. I also made a little dent in the center of a batch and added a bit of strawberry jam like someone suggested and they turned out lovely. I am now officially addicted to baking. Thanks for the recipe and helpful feedback!

I made this recipe 4 times, and shared these delicious cookies with as many people as possible (who keep asking for more). It is the best p.b. cookie recipe I have ever tried. On the fourth batch, I put a tablespoon of my favorite mixed berry jam in the center of the cookies, and carefully enveloped the jam with the dough. The result was magical. And dangerous. I even forgot to press the cookies with the fork tines a couple of times. Still amazing. One difference - I didn't sift the flour. No sifter. Can't wait to make them again!

Excellent! The husband highly approves of this recipe. The only reason this is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because I didn't have any baking soda on hand so I used 2 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder, which probably changed the outcome. I also used 3/4 cup of peanut butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla.

Delicious and soft -- I made them with almond butter instead of peanut butter; good either way (my impression is that it's better)

Delicious cookies! I usually change recipes a good deal, but these were delicious just following the recipe! I promised my boyfriend cookies yesterday, and I have a cold so I didn't feel like going to the store for ingredients, so these were the perfect cookies for me. I had all the ingredients on hand! He says they're the best peanut butter cookies he's ever had! (He's a bit of a sweets connoisseur and my recipe guinea pig) Anyways, don't change a thing. Make them exactly as written- they're soft, delicious, peanut buttery goodness!

Very easy and tasty recipe as is. I followed it exactly but made a double batch. Last minute I decided to add a cup of mini semi-sweet choc chips. Turned out wonderful. 10 mins exactly in my oven was perfect. They're not hard but not soft really either. Slightly crumbly, but that's how we like 'em. I thought they were flavorful with the suggested amt of peanut butter. Not bland at all. Will keep to make again. And I took pictures!! Will post later :)
