I have no idea why this recipe has such high ratings. It was just okay for me. I will not make these again.

wonderful cookies, thanx for the recipe, great idea. This is the new lunch box stuffer. After reading some of the reviews, I did cut back on the icing sugar for the filling, and replaced it with cocoa powder, great for anyone who loves choc/pb-that would be me

I thought these were pretty good. I forgot to press the last batch of cookies down but they worked anyway. Next time I will make them a little smaller.

I needed to bring a dessert to a family BBQ and a friend recommended this recipe. It is just okay. Good, but not anything spectacular. I doubled the recipe so I have a ton of cookies, and I wish I had something else to bring. Unles the family raves about these cookies I won't be making them again.

Very good!! I agree that it is very rich, but I am going to try making them smaller and see if that helps at all!

This is the best peanut butter cookie recipe I've ever tried. When you bring them somewhere, bring copies of the recipe to hand out because they'll want it.

They were okay. I didnt like them but the kids ate them up and said that they were good. I actually made these by mistake, i usually make the Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies III from this site, which are similar sandwich cookies with filling and they are way better. So if you looking for a wonderful delicious nutter butter like peanut butter cookie try those instead, they are a definate 5 star cookie.

Have made the recipe several times, including using butter instead of shortening. Seems like the results are not always consistant. I always have to add more milk to the frosting, to be able to spread it.

Very good cookie. Very soft and tender along with a decent peanutty flavor. I used butter instead of butter flavored shortening, since that's all I had on hand but that's the only alteration that I made. I started out using a cookie scoop to make my dough balls then after baking I decided to use the same cookie scoop only divide the scoop into two balls. I think these worked out well in relationship with the sweet center filling. I even took two cookies (without the creme filling) and added a bit of peanut butter and a small amount of jelly to make a different take on the cookie and they tasted pretty good too! Thanks for this recipe, it will definitely be something that will end up on my Christmas Cookie List this year :)

I love this recipe. I didn't think that there was any way to make peanut butter cookies better, but this was it. If you are looking to make the recipe a little healthier you can make the cookies using both the splenda brown sugar and the splenda sugar. It kind of defeats the purpose when you have to use the confectioners sugar for the cream filling, but its still worth a few calories.

I didn't like these cookies at all. They were very dry, even fresh from the oven. They weren't even quite brown around the edges yet. However, the filling was very nice, with only 2 1/4 cups of confectioners sugar after you let it set for an hour or so, covered with plastic wrap. Next time, I will stick with the recipe on the back of the Jif Jar and top with a dollop of the "filling"

I really enjoyed making these cookies. They took a little longer to bake than I think was intended, but that was probably because I was using a baking stone instead of a cookie sheet. I would recommend not using so much confectioner's sugar in the frosting, as it came out really, really sweet. Maybe 2 1/2 cups or so. But this is really a fantastic cookie! I was told they were awesome.

This was excellent. This was very sweet. The only thing I dd that may be helpful to others is unstead of spreading the icing on the cookies I put the icing in a large ziploc bag and cut the tip off and just squeezed it on the cookie (less mess). These were wonderful

I made these to take on a camping trip and while everyone liked them, most people thought they were too sweet. everyone thought they tasted similiar to Nutter Butters. I will try making again using less sugar in the cookie itself. Also, the recipe for the filling makes way more than is needed, thus a lot of it was wasted.

REALLY CONFUSED! I've just decided to start baking and thought this recipe looked easy enough... it was a disaster! I don't know what I did wrong. The batter was too sticky to shape into anything and would just stick to the fork when I would try to flatten it... the cookies came out big a fluffy like shortbread... and didn't taste much like peanut butter. I don't know what I did wrong. I used an electric mixer, but perhaps for too long? Should I have stirred it all by hand? HELP! Please leave suggestions! I would like to try to make these again!

The description is dead on. I substituted the shortening for the butter and cooked for 7 minutes. They ended up very chewy. These disappeared very quickly and will be made again very soon! Thx for the recipe!

This is a household favorite! I did not change a single thing and they turned out great! I would suggest cooking the cookies for little bit longer if you like a crunch with the creamy filling. They are great right out of the oven as well as days later. Thank you for this great recipe...I love making these!
