These cookies are the best ever, have to double the recipe and it still isn't enough. They are also good to ship, I send care packages to my nephew aboard the USS NIMITZ, he said he had to hide last time!!

This does not give any clear instructions. My cookies turned into flat chips. I am very angry. LEARN HOW TO EXPLAIN.

 Heather (California) replies:
Anony, maybe you just need to learn how to cook because I think (and apparently the many people before you) the instructions are pretty clear and simple.

Heather (CA), these instructions are basic. Some people simply need detailed instructions, it doesn't mean they can't bake. So, you should be fair & not bash someone's ability.

Anony (HI) - Peanut butter cookies are relatively uniform, we give them or own touch. More peanut taste, add peanut butter, etc. The above recipe is simple & has the basic ingredients. If you want, go simple, do the "pound cake" method (made using a pound of everything)...

2 sticks room temp butter
2 eggs
1 cup peanut butter, brown sugar, white sugar
1 tsp. baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour.

Cream butter, peanut butter & sugars together well. Add eggs one at a time to mix well. Add baking soda, baking powder and vanilla. Roll into small balls & roll in sugar, place on non-greased sheet & press down with fork (or other design making object), if desired, & bake 6-7 mins. Take them out, even though they don't look done. These will be soft & chewy. If a more crisp cookie is desired, cook for 10-15 mins.

Good luck.

These are the best peanut butter cookies I have had.
I think I did them a little large but 12 minutes was perfect. A little crisp, a little chewy and yet still soft.
Thanks

I just finished making these cookies..I must say they are delicous...I used Soy Butter instead of Peanut Butter due to allergies and they came out great!

 Sharon D (California) says:
A tip is to make sure you mix all wet ingredients first until smooth.I substituted 1/2 cup splenda brown sugar instead of 1 cup regular brown sugar; 1 cup splenda instead of 1 cup granulated sugar; 1 cup oat flour and 1 1/2 cups flour instead of 2 1/2 cups flour. same cooking temp and same cooking time. Yields 3 dozen.

These are delicious! There were so many we were eating them for days.

 Beverley (Texas) says:
I ALWAYS use a medium size cookie or ice cream scoop for cookies....with this recipe I then roll them into a small and use a criss cross potato masher instead of a fork. They turn out uniform in size and have a unique design. After taking them from the oven put a chocolate kiss on top. YUMMY!

 Erin Bogart (Washington) says:
These cookies are good! Chill the dough and drop in rounded teaspoons as they spread when cooked. I added the almond extract as one comment suggested "it makes the peanut flavor pop" - I wish I hadn't added this as it gives the cookie a funny sweet taste.
