    I made these using Truvia and it worked very well! Using the Truvia cuts the calories down to just under 50 a cookie and they taste great! They really take care of the sweet cravings. - 10/19/11

    I have been making these cookies for a few years and EVERYONE loves them,but I use brown sugar! I do add a little vanilla and also mix it with an electric mixer-for what seems like a long time lol...but if I don't they tend to fall apart. Gonna try them with Splenda Brown sugar... - 12/10/12

    these are Great! My kids didn't even notice they were Gluten and Dairy free! I added just a little bit of Gerber Cereal for Baby Rice - 1/2 cup to give them a little more body and they turned out awesome. I also added some mini chocolate chips to half the batch for something a little different. - 12/14/09

    I've used this recipe for years! I often add oatmeal, or cornflakes, or granola. My daughter loves that she gets to do them as well. I've made them with the Nuttella too. Really good either way! - 10/18/11

    This is the same recipe I use for peanut butter kisses. Just roll into a ball and bake and as soon they come out of the oven add a Hersey kiss in the middle of each cookie. My son's favorite! - 12/10/12

    I easily burnt the first batch, even though they were in for the recommended 9 minutes...so watch them carefully! I turned back the heat to 350 and after 8 minutes they were done.

    Hubby mucked into them when he got home, and I'm having trouble avoiding eating too many! Vanilla might help thoug

    Delicious - sell at Farmer's markets very well! Double-Wrap individually and label with recipe - then verbally tell them they are gluten free! Wonderful conversation starters and encouragement to others who can not eat many of the other "junk" foods at markets - 5/3/11

    I LOVED these, and so did my friends! They were a little crumbly, but when you bite into them they are very moist! If I wasn't the one who made them, I wouldn't have known that they were gluten and dairy free! STRONGLY recommend! - 7/11/13

    I made these with 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda, and was surprised at the nice consistency. I only got 13 balls though, so mine are thick though I did flatten them some, and took 15 mins to bake @ 350. They are nice with tea, and my version is chewy. Will add vanilla and a pinch of salt next time. - 12/2/13

    I made these last night and they were really good. Although I didn't get 36, I actually got 16 cookies out of it so they were a bit higher than 67.9 calories each lol. Next time I make them, I'm going to make them smaller. - 1/27/13

    I use chunky Jif and cut back the sugar to 1/4-1/2 cup of sugar. The secret for a well formed cookie is to beat the dough until it holds together (I use a stand mixer). This recipe make about 12 real sized cookies, that are about 2-2.5 inches in diameter. Bake at 350 for 9 minutes. - 9/18/13

    Didn't have any peanut butter on hand, so I used almond butter instead. In case anyone's wondering, they're fabulous that way too! I also added a pinch of salt since the almond butter I use doesn't have any in it. The dough was very gooey, but putting it in the fridge for 10 minutes sorted that. - 4/30/15

    Use a cookie scoop rather than rolling balls and mark with a fork twice prior to baking. I use Airbake cookie sheets & leave them baking for 12 mins. After removing from oven let them cool down 7-10 mins then carefully move onto a cooling rack. Don't touch for 15 mins and they will firm up. - 12/4/14

    Changes: 1/2 c Splenda brown sugar blend for the 1 c regular sugar, 1 t vanilla, and 1/2 c old-fashioned oats. Used Jif extra crunchy because that's what I had. It made 24 teeny cookies but very tasty. Baked at 350 8 minutes. Calculated 89 calories and 7.5 g carbs per cookie. Hard to just eat one! - 8/2/14

    This recipe is great! It's a little sticky, so I don't use the bottom of a glass to flatten, it would stick to the glass! Taste is wonderful, here is a hint to make them better-I have found that Adams all natural peanut butter makes the best cookies. I used Kirkland brand and it wasn't the same. - 12/2/13

    I have made these many times for my GF daughter and they are really good. I try to cut the sugar back to 3/4 of a cup and it doesn't seem to affect the end product. You definitely have to watch portion control and they get crumbly after a few days. We freeze them take them out as needed. - 12/2/13

    I have been making these forever. I often sub 1/2 c Brown sugar, or a bit of honey for some of the sugar, but add some thickner like powdered milk before adding the egg. Once you make it a few times, you'll know the consistancy it needs before going in the oven and can add/sub from there. Enjoy!! - 10/18/11

    Tried yesterday for 1st time: halved the recipe (sugar & peanut butter) though kept in the whole egg. Sprayed down all utensils with cooking spray for easy clean-up. Also, in our oven on a dark cookie sheet, they burned after 9 min on 1 corner a little; still tasty! Now 2nd time+chocChips: 325F@7min - 2/1/20
