Excellent cookies. I made them as written using creamy peanut butter. They were super easy to make and taste great. Thanks for sharing. -
Delicious! These are my hubby's favorite pb cookies! -
I always trust Kittencal's recipes, but I was holding out on the review until "the day after baking" to see if they would turn hard. And the cookies are perfect! They taste amazing and the chewy texture is such a pleaser. I did add a little bit of pudding mix and white chocolate to my batch.

I don't bake. Eggplant Parmesan that takes hours to make...I'm all over it. Cookies...not so much. ;) This recipe, however, made a cookie monster out of me! So simple and absolutely delicious! I used butterscotch chips instead of peanut butter and added some chopped almonds. Thank you for sharing this fantastic cookie recipe, Kit! It is definitely one I will make over and over again. :)

Might as well add my 5 stars... These cookies were lovely. I used butter instead of the shortening, and subbed white chocolate chips for the peanuut butter chips because that was all I had. We also prefer a larger cookie, so we used aprox. tablespoon sized balls of dough, and baked for 13 minutes. They turned out great even so - a really nice, tender texture. My 4 year old would have eaten the whole batch if I let him... Thanks for sharing this recipe!
