Wonderful cookies!! The only thing i would change is the sugar. They are a little sweet. But so scrumptious! I did add a little extra pb. They taste just like peanut butter cups to me. Next time I will add 1/2 choc chips and 1/2 pb chips. Thanks for a great recipe.

Very good cookies. The only changes that I made were to cut the white sugar down to 1/2 cup and use WW flour instead of AP. There was a little too much going on with all the different textures (we're simple cookie people) but that didn't keep us from eating them.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
