 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.

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??

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!

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

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!

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.

Just tried these this morning! They are a hit with my kids. I used Jif and added a packet of instant oatmeal. Very easy and quick! Thanks for sharing!

I thought the dough was a bit gooopy, but they turned out perfect, thin and chewy and peanut buttery goodness. I don't usually like peanut butter cookies, but I liked these.
