Not only are these fast to make they are also most yummy. I was looking for a cookie recipe to make right away ang just the name "Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies" caught my attention. I used Adams smooth PB (what I had on the shelf) and no raisins or nuts. The outcome was great. At 12 mins I had 2 sheets of tender peanut butter cookies with dark chocolate chips *sigh*. Used Splenda granulated for the white sugar, Splenda brown blend for the brown sugar and 1/4 cup of egg white for the whole egg (I made a half recipe). I might also mention that the 1/2 recipe should have made 36 cookies, I got 24 and a mouth full of cookie dough ......maybe I had a big teaspoon? lol. Be that as it may, even with the bigger cookies they were still fully baked at the 12 mins. -
I skipped the raisins and added butterscotch chips, salted peanuts and walnuts to equal 1 cup. I also added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract per the suggestion of other reviewers. Thanks for posting! cg -
These were excellent cookies. My family gobbled them up and the few that made it to my husbands lunch were adored by his co-workers. In fact, one of the men asked if he bought the ingredients, would I bake him a batch? I used creamy peanut butter, omitted the raisins and added about 1/2 tsp of salt. The salt really boosted the peanut butter flavor. I used milk chocolate chips in a subsequent batch, but found I prefer the semi-sweet. Really fantastic cookies!

Yummy cookies.I made these for DD#2's preschool class. I added a tsp of vanilla b/c of personnal preference. I didn't grease my cookie sheets and they didn't stick at all. I used all raisins and milk chocolate chips. I couldn't use crunchy peanut butter b/c SOMEBODY ate it all and left the empty jar in the cupboard! These were just what I was looking for! -
Who could not love cookies made with chocolate and peanut butter? Also, I went with all walnuts and no raisins. These are just delicious, Ellie. Thanks so much for sharing your great recipe.
