Uhm, my roommate and I were bored and since were like in college and stuff, we didn't know how to use the oven or bake or anything and they came out just fine. Sounds like this is whats for dinner tomorrow.

I googled for "easy peanut butter cookie recipe" to find this, and I love it!
I used a couple tablespoons less than the cup of sugar called for, and added two tablespoons of cocoa powder. I also sprinkled a little turbinado sugar on top. Yum!
The best part is that it takes less than five minutes to mix these up!

Found this recipe about an hour ago and have already made a batch of cookies. Super easy! I was able to whip up a batch in less than 5 minutes. Cookies are good, but very sweet. I had to let them sit for a bit outside the oven to harden. Would love to find a way to make this less sweet but otherwise, a great recipe.

I listened to the above comments and added oats and some Hershey's chocolate syrup. They're kind of like no-bake cookies, only less mess and less trouble!

I made these cookies last night. Texture was great! Only problem was that they were too sweet. Trying to figure out how to cut down on sweetness without losing texture! Otherwise, great!

Hi Julie,

It might be that the peanut butter you used had more sugar - try using an organic brand that doesn't taste very sweet before you start. You can also try making them with a tablespoon or 2 less sugar and it shouldn't make too much of a difference in the texture.

Happy Baking!

ty cooks for the suggestion! I used Aldi's brand peanut butter, but I will keep in mind about less sugar. Thanks for answering me!

I was skeptical. Cookies without flour, etc? I tried this today... easy! They came out great! Only thing is a little too sweet. Going to tweak the recipe a bit. Used chunky peanut butter. Amazing and so easy to make! Whoever came up with this recipe.. I thank you! Next time, going to add chocolate chips!

I added Nutella this time around, I'm commenting as they bake. Cross our fingers they taste as good as the classic recipe.

I use Splenda in place of the sugar. They are a great sweet treat for us who can't have the sugar.
