They were tasty but I love the taste of butter in my cookies so I used 1 stick of butter and 1 cup shortening instead and I used white flour because it was what I had. Very good.My family loved them.

WONDERFUL cookies. I used natural pb, dark brown sugar, and replaced the butter with Smart Balance 67% margarine spread (no trans fats) with good success. I also put chocolate chips in half the batch - yum! These cookies are so good and it's nice to know that I'm serving my family a cookie that's somewhat healthy in addition to being delicious.

I divided the recipe in thirds so I only made 1/3 recipe and they came out really fabulous! I used "peanuts only" natural peanut butter and did not even notice there was less sugar. The kids love them and they are good for them too.

The cookies were tasty (probably from all the shortening and sugar), very rich (I suggest a glass of milk with these) but they were also very crumbly, which was a downside.

Mmmmmmmmm...very yummy. Divided the recipe by 3 and still made 15 cookies! Added a chopped small bar of white chocolate and kept the sugar amount the same and used wholenut peanut butter - just the right amount of sweetness. Didn't have any wheat flour so used self raising and omitted the baking soda. Made the cookies about 1cm high and hot they melt in the mouth and cold are both chewy and crunchy - perfect just someone please stop me from eating them all right now!!

Disappointed..I made these because my husband had been asking for an oatmeal cookie, and I love peanut butter, the only thing I changed was I used butter (others had said this was okay). The cookies were bland and heavy...

This is a great recipe. When I made it, I used honey roasted peanut butter and added semi-sweet chocolate chips (3 cups with the original recipe). If you add the chocolate chips, be sure to reduce the brown sugar by 1/4 cup. Otherwise, you will have some really sweet cookies! NOTE: If you reduce the recipe to make 2 dozen (with chocolate chips), then a 1/3 and 1/4 cup of brown sugar works. That's what I use.

Rich and yummy! I used natural peanut butter, so I needed to add more brown sugar.

These cookies are wonderful. I like the idea of using wheat flour. They are easy to prepare and bake. I added chocolate chips to the recipe. My kids loved them!

My family and friends found these cookies to be quite delicious. They do have a very flaky, crumbly texture. They freeze well which is good because the recipe makes many, many cookies. Plan to share when you bake a full batch of these!

My family loved these cookies. I use butter in cookies instead of shortening and also added raisins. I have a request to always have these baked and handy!

Fairly healthy and tasty cookies. Not too sweet. Makes large batch and the cookies freeze well. Good with milk or coffee. Could be more peanutbuttery.
