  1. Very good chewy cookies! We think they taste brownie like. My DD replaced the brown sugar with brown sugar blend Splenda.
     
  2. These are IMO not really peanut butter cookies, but they ARE DELICIOUS! Chocolate cookies oozing with peanut butter cup pieces. YUMMMM!
     
  3. This was a great base. I didnt read it right. I was looking for a peanut butter cookie. I didnt have cups so i used peanut butter and I added butterscotch chips. They turned out nice and flaky.I made them for 25 guys at my husbands school they loved them. Thank you
     
  4. These were good, but really sweet for our tastes.
     
  5. These are absolutely AWESOME!!! My new favorite cookie. Who can beat the combination of chocolate and peanut butter? The kids can help by chopping the peanut butter cups. The dough goes together easily butis very soft, so next time (and there will be a next time)I will refrigerate the dough before baking. I got 42 cookies out of the batch. This recipe deserves at least 10 stars!!!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
