These are terrific! Thinking of trying an even coarser sugar, too. I mistakenly put too many chocolate chips and the right amount of peanut butter chips and also found them delicious. However, I want to make a plea for my dad – put the fork cross hatches on all peanut butter cookies! He hates peanut butter but loves all other cookies and gets annoyed when this ‘marker’ is not on them and he bites into them unawares!

I made these using 1/2 whole wheat flour, no salt and vegan “Earthly” buttery sticks… slightly healthier and they are delish! I didn’t have PB chips, but added extra chocolate chips instead and they have all but disappeared in a matter of a few hours!

i have to agree with the above comment! absolutely amazing. I just made them and can scarce keep from eating them all! I too used the super fine sugar and didn’t get that cool looking crystal thing going on, would probably try a little coarser white to see if I got that look, otherwise superb. Used T.J’s smooth peanut butter and half a bag of milk chocolate chips (put through a mini processor to cut down their size) AND used salted butter as that’s all i had and they still turned out deelish! Thank you!

Do you know that song ‘I just died in your arms tonight’? Well it was written about these cookies because they are that amazing.

AWESOME! Thanks for the recipe – everyone needs to be able to bake these. Didn’t have PB chips – didn’t matter. Took them to an assisted living ctr & the “old folks” couldn’t quit raving about them.

This cookies are amazing! I made them without the chocolate chips, though. I think that it makes them too sweet and takes away from the peanut buttery goodness. I’m also really happy because these cookies are the closest recipe that I’ve found to tasting like the peanut butter cookies that I used to have in high school. I think it must be the peanut butter chips. I will definitely be making these again, and this is now *the* peanut butter recipe that I will use every time I make peanut butter cookies! Thank you!!

Hi,
Can I use this recipe to make a “giant” cookie to decorate for a birthday party?

I made these again recently using natural peanut butter (ingredients: peanuts, salt) instead of the “unnatural” stuff, and the only difference I saw was slightly more spreading. They’re still really good, with a bit more texture.

I don’t really like peanut butter cookies, but I included these in a care package I sent recently and of course I had to sample some…quality control, you understand…and they were my favorite of the 4 different cookies I sent! As a matter of fact, these are now one of my favorite cookies EVER! I left out the pb chips and doubled the choc chips. After spooning out the dough for each cookie, I flattened them a bit, flash froze them, then put them in a ziploc bag with baking instructions written on it and stored them in the freezer. When I want to bake some, I just pull out however many I want…or, feel comfortable eating at one time…sprinkle them with coarse salt and sugar, and bake them. FANTASTIC!

Sigh. I can’t make anything BUT these cookies and the peanut butter brownies now. I’ve gained 20 pounds in the past few months – not even kidding. They’re so good, and I have no self-control. I think I’m going to try forming them into balls and then freezing them so I can pull out 3 at a time or whatever to see if that helps. Of course, it’s just as easy to pull out 5, or 10…I love you…
