I am very disappointed with this recipe. I followed the instructions, but the ingredients wouldn't stick together to form dough. I added an extra egg, and got some dough; however, it was grainy. Baked well, but very little peanut butter taste.<br/><br/>TM -
I love this recipe! I used white rice flour (gluten free house) added an extra egg and 2tbsp milk, 1 minute less cook time and these cookies are gluten free and taste like store b ought regular! Thanks!!! -
Just baked these for hubby. We both loved them. Simple and delicious. Mine retained their shape and did not spread out too much, were slightly crisp with spongy centers - YUMMY! -
Very east, and a GREAT tasting cookie. Excellent texture too. They spread out a lot though, and didn't hold their shape. -
Good recipe! When I bit into one, I thought it tasted like more of a muffin then cookie, the inside was spongy and moist while the outside was slightly crunchier. I added 1/4 cup of peanuts, very finely chopped.
