Very good cookies.Chewy and the chocolate adds a nice touch.I will make these again.

These cookies were a little on the dry side, but after dipping them in the melted chocolate they balanced out well. HINT: If you are tempted to eat them while the chocolate is still warm and gooey, resist the temptation as the chocolate overwhelms the PB, they are much better after the chocolate solidifies. My son likes the cookies without the chocolate, though, he said the chocolate was overpowering.

The cookies did not spread on the sheet as much as I expected, so I would suggest trying to flatten them out a little. When still warm these are very soft and don't really taste cooked. I used chocolate cake covering as it was in stock. I tested some cookies without the chocolate and was unimpressed with them. With the chocolate on top they are OK, but I probably won't make them again.
