    I made these cookies 3 nights in a row for get-togethers and 5 people asked me for the recipe! Awesome cookies and SUPER EASY! One little tip--make sure to let the batter sit about 5-8 minutes before spooning out and baking, otherwise the batter will stick to your hands when trying to roll it. - 3/6/08

    I made these twice using reduced fat peanut butter and the second time I changed out white to whole wheat flour. Next I will try half splenda and sugar. They were fantastic both times. I need to refigure calories with changes. Try them there great. Thanks for the recipe. - 1/13/08

    I substituted Splenda white and brown sugar for a lower calorie and didn't make a difference in the taste. Low fat peanut butter too. - 12/18/07

    These were great! However, I made the mistake of substituting margarine for the butter, and they turned out rather greasy, but great tasting and very chewy. Will definitely make again but will actually follow the recipe! - 8/4/08

    My family loves this recipe. When I make these, I always use JIF peanut butter which I think gives the cookies the best flavor. - 7/31/09

    My boyfriend's favorite cookie is peanut butter cookies so I have been on the search for the "Best" peanut butter cookie for the last 5 years. Here it is! Just make sure you watch the cookies in your oven. Mine runs a little hot so I had some dark bottoms. They bake up fast. - 2/27/08

    Used low-fat chunky pb; half of the butter; added 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce; no milk; 1 c. whole wheat flour and 1/2 c. all-purpose flour; eliminated salt. Chilled for about 15 minutes before rolling into balls. Delightful! - 12/16/10

    These cookies have a great flavor and consistency. They are not a low calorie dessert but may be good for events. With this recipe, I made 23 2-inch cookies using light butter for half of it. They had 158 calories per cookie. Need to have amazing willpower to just eat one! - 7/29/09

    These cookies weren't too bad. Not my top recipe.

    For those of you using low-fat peanut butter... STOP!! The fat in peanut butter is good... and less fat = more sugar. Get "Smucker's All Natural Peanut Butter" or "Simply Jiff" peanut butter. The sugar is omitted and they are both low sodium!

    Terrific! I used WW Flour with great results. Chewy & satisfying. I would reduce the sugar next time only because they pretty sweet and I think the flavor might be more balanced with a minor adjustment there. I did not roll them but scooped them with a mini ice cream scoop no flattening either. - 2/4/10

    amazingly good. Made a couple of alterations to make it healthy like some others did (1/2 splenda 1/2 sugar; light PB; light butter; dried out egg whites; & salt substitute- NU Salt).. came out amazing. BF who isn't trying to eat healthy loves them too. I baked mine at 325 for 13-14 mins. - 1/27/10

    I used 3/4 cups WWW flour + 1/2 cups defatted peanut flour instead of 1-1/4 cups all purpose flour. I used all natural unsalted pb, and Smart Balance 50/50. The cookies were firm on the outside but soft, chewy and GREASY on the inside. MaB I'll sub applesauce 4 sum butter 2 reduce grease factor - 12/10/10

    there is a huge amount: 1 1/2 cups fat in the peanut butter and the butter itself, not counting fat in the egg and milk, and so much sugar, no wonder everyone thought they were delicious...
    Wouldn't it be healthier to eat a handful of raw nuts and some delicious strawberries?
