I use this same recipe when I bake pb cookies. Not overcooking them is the key to getting a soft chewy cookie. In fact I tend to undercook mine a little bit.


I made them everyone loved them . I added the pic . Don't they look great (lol) . I baked them for about 10 mins ....great recipe


I just made these and they are amazing! My husband agrees too, he just couldnt voice it while stuffing his face :) mission accomplished. Thank you!


Now I'll admit to not being a chef, however, I followed this recipe exactly. I found the cookies dry and they burnt at their recommended cooking time.


These got a kiss on the cheek and a cookie mouthful of "wow these are amazing!" thanks XD


Great recipe. I baked them for 9 minutes at 400 and they were perfect. My fiance said they were the best peanut butter cookies I've made yet. I love to bake cookies and he loves to eat them.


IM THE KEEPER OF ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR RECIPES! LOL!


I was wanting to make peanut butter cookies today, and i just stumbled upon this recipe! it must be fate.


I joined this only to say that I completely disagree with everyone here. I did not like the end result. I followed the recipe as directed as well. sorry.

I'd add less flour ... and decrease the baking temperature.
