Have not tried this yet but plan to. Question: can you use self rising flour and omit the baking soda and baking powder? I love all the great review's CM gets I am printing a lot of her recipes.

I made these with Peanut M&Ms, they were so good. Just add a medium size bag (2 cups) and you're good to go!

Real good but I know they would be even better with add-ins like others suggested.

These are great...my kids love them but I did add coarse sugar on top of them after I added the cress cross pattern, I think it just added a little something!!! LOVE THEM!!!

Taste is very good & peanut buttery. After refrigerating 45 minutes, one egg was not sufficient to keep the dough together to shape into balls. I added another egg and it worked perfectly. Overall, this is a worthwhile bake.
