Thanks for the recipe! I remember making these in home economics in high school and someone put salt in the sugar container....and for a 3 ingredient recipe I messed it up! It was kind of funny and the teacher didn't dock me for it! Brought back old memories....thanks Tom.

These cookies are so easy and oh so good! Great peanut butter flavor, look just like a normal cookie and taste even better! Can't believe they have no flour!

Delicious and perfect for baking with a 3 year old! :)

We added a cup of oatmeal and one more egg.... I try to sneak in healthy foods when I can. :). They were great and kids loved them!

Half the sugar (I used brown), add a good handful of shredded coconut and a tsp of vanilla extract. Awesome!

I love these cookies! My son grew up on them and even when visiting from college, I would bake and pack them up for him to take; always brought a smile to his face. Unbelievably easy and delicious!

Just made these today, very good cookies. First time I'd ever made cookies completely from scratch, and these came out perfect

Great!! But only one problem... It didn't really come out doughy more of a batter type before cooking. Is that normal for this recipe??

 Melissa (Georgia) says:
This is really good, but the time didn't work for me, when I pulled out the cookies, they were still liquidy. I suggest putting them in for about 20 minutes, checking them every 5 minutes.

Thank you! I got a call and was "reminded" I was to bring in the cookies to my friends daughters class around noon (it was already 10am when I got the call) today. Only problem was I had not been told to begin with, only volunteered. All my recipes required an extra trip to the store but thankfully I had all these ingredients on hand. Whipped out 5 dozen peanut butter chocolate dipped cookies in no time. Party saved and according to neighbors daughter,saved her life too. So now I have a new recipe and going out to get my superhero cape later. Thank you once again for a great, simple or a simply great recipe.

Our first batch came out awesome, but they were a little too sweet so we used a zero calorie granulated sweetener in place of the sugar and they were just perfect!!

 Acandkg (Australia) says:
Simple and so easy. But I substituted 1/2 the sugar with 1/2 cup flour and a teaspoon of milk. Not so sickly sweet, but ohhhh soooo delish!! Super crunchy PB is the way to go for me.

 Sylvia (Illinois) says:
Love this recipe. I added a package of instant oatmeal and another egg to cut the sweetness. My kids love it and right now i'm making them and adding instant peach oatmeal. I'll let you know what the kids think.

 Monica (Tennessee) says:
VERY good! A smidge on the dry side but not so much that I wouldn't make them again when I need to whip together some cookies in a hurry!
