I made these cookies. They truly are the worlds best. Yields about 2 dozen cookies. Yum!

These are great. My family could not get enough of them. They were super easy too.

I just made these to send to a bunch of our deployed employees. The broken ones were eaten by other employees. I have been told by everyone these are the best Cookies ever!

Just made these for tail-gating tomorrow. Outstanding...wouldn't change a thing.

how much does 2 sticks of butter equal? We buy our butter by the pound - which equals 2 cups. Thanks

This recipe gives no shaping or size instruction or whether or not to grease the cookie sheet. I made them large (rounded tablespoons of dough) and did not grease the pan. I also did the classic criss-cross with a fork. I baked them for only 9 minutes and they came out well and made 4 dozen cookies. I can't imagine how large they would be to only get 2 dozen and take 20 minutes to bake.

Very easy and the best found on this site. I compared to Jif and other peanut butter brands versions and this beats them hands down. Yield was about 30 and very tasty:)

I made these cookies and found that cooking them for 20 minutes in my oven was way too long. The first batch burnt a little on the bottom and I took them out at 17 minutes. I cooked the other batches for 12-15 minutes and they turned out much better. I found the recipe made about 4 dozen cookies.

I love these cookies, very peanutty and just lovely. I did use unsalted butter so added 1 tsp of salt. I chilled the dough as I like a really thick cookie. Really great.

Hi Rhonda,

Two sticks of butter equals half a pound; a pound of butter has 4 sticks.

Happy Baking,

Personal preference, but I find these "average at best".
Not enough peanut butter flavor and not "chewy". Still looking for that "great recipe"...

Very easy, made 1-1/2 x recipe, still playing on time.. I like my cookies crunchy and my kids like them chewy.

I added 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract and it made the peanut flavor "pop".

These cookies turned out really great and they were very simple to make. I greased the cookie sheet and I also chilled the dough before I cooked them, although the recipe did not say to do that. This recipe makes a lot more than 2 dozen cookies if you are making regular sized cookies.

I made just a slight change. I added about 2 cups of peanut butter (whole jar of Jif 18 oz. weight) and just 2 cups of flour. (any more flour would have been too thick to stir). Baked exactly 12 minutes and they turned out great, but they are crunchier than I thought they would be. Similar to the texture of Pepperidge Farm Cookies in the white paper bag. But they were delicious!!

These are the best! Everyone loves them. Try the same recipe but roll the dough in cinnamon and sugar and chopped peanuts prior to cooking. YUM!!!

The BEST cookies ever! Followed the recipe exactly, however baked cookies for 10 minutes instead of twelve and they are perfect! Soft and moist. Family loves them! Made 6 dozen.

I added white chocolate chips to the recipe. Less healthy - even more delicious!

These cookies are amazing!!!! My daughter and I cooked them, and only put them in the oven for 10 mins. They came out so soft and chewy!!! Definitely the best peanut butter cookies ever!

I just made these tonight and they turned out very well. I am the worst cookie maker too. When ever I try they always come out flatter than pancakes lol. These peanut butter cookies will be my dad bday gift he loves them.

I just made these last night. Delicious! I did add 1 cup of peanut butter chips to them and that added a nice touch but they would have been delicious without them as well. Very moist.

They are the best cookies I have made. They didn't last long so I doubled the batch!

These were by far the best peanut butter cookies I have ever made. My family loved, loved, loved them.

WAY more than 2 dozen! More like 8 dozen small cookies!!! Very good recipe, though.

These simply ARE the bests peanut butter cookies ever! I made these about 2 months ago and misplaced the recipe. I googled "world's best cookie" and there it was! People rave over these - even those who usually aren't fond of peanut butter.

I used unsalted butter and 1 cup whole wheat flour in the flour mixture and it gave the cookies a chewy texture. If you portion out dollops of raw dough, put them on a cookie sheet to freeze and then into a zip-loc, they come out good as new. Out of the freezer and into the oven on a slightly lower temp for a couple of minutes longer.

Thanks for posting this awesome cookie!

This is a very good and simple recipe. I like crispy cookies, so they were perfect for me, even when I cut the cooking time to 10 or 11 minutes. They might be a bit on the dry side for some tastes. And whoever said it yields about 2 dozen is crazy! I got between 6 and 7 dozen using a bit over a teaspoon size drop of dough, and they were not small cookies.

this recipe the best one i tried so far. this will be the one i use from here on out. i added a bag of chocolate chips. to die for. thnx

Made these on new years eve... I had a beer or two and completely forgot the butter and they still came out great. If I make them again, I would just leave out the butter (or reduce!) for less fat. They were great!

Amazing cookies! My batch made about 20 Texas Sized cookies. I recommend only baking for 10 minutes.

This recipe was pretty good. B/c I like a more peanut-y taste, I increased it to 2 cups of the extra crunchy. NEVER use generic peanut butter, I always use Jif or Skippy. Also exchanged the vanilla for vanilla, nut and butter flavoring, increasing it by 1/2 teaspoon... Cooked for about 9 minutes b/c I HATE crispy cookies. Now these were moist, soft n chewy....PERFECT!!!!!!! Yielded 3 dozen.

Can I say - - WOW!!!!! I just made these cookies and they are FANTASTIC!!! I followed the directions as directed was extremely happy with the results.. =D

I made these cookies and added Reeces peanut butter chips and Hersheys milk chocolate chips to the batter....absolutely amazing!!

I made this recipe today with three small adjustments.. I increased the peanut butter to two cups, decreased the flour to two cups and decreased the cooking time to 10 minutes.... AWESOME! Not dry. My husband is a peanut butter cookie-aholic and he said they were one of the top best he's had!!! Oh, and I also added 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.

I made these for my mom's book club meeting.It was hit everybody commented how delicious, soft and chewy they were. Thanks for the recipe.

Since these peanut butter cookies are sooooo delicious I'm wondering if you have world's best chocolate cookies recipe,too? PB cookies were the best of the BEST!!!!

I just made these and the are awesome. I rolled the dough into small balls then flattened and dipped the top in "sugar in the raw". Everybody here has a new favorite cookie !!
