  1. Very good recipe! I cut the sugar by half, 1/2 c. white, 1/2 c. brown, and they were perfect. Thanks for postibg!
     
  2. Great cookies. Just like I remembered. However, I had to adjust the temp in my oven. 375 made the bottoms too brown. I adjusted back to 350. Thank you so much for posting.
     
  3. My friend Mary makes these as well ... the only difference is that she only uses 2 1/4 cup flour and bakes for 10 min at 350 degrees. She also sprinkles sugar on top ... yummy. I was going to post the recipe when I found this one. The BEST peanut butter cookie out there!
     
  4. There cookies are so easy to make and turned out really well. Yummy!
     
  5. It has been so long since I made Peanut Butter Cookies that I couldn't wait to try your recipe! We were not disappointed, these cookies are delicious! DH came home from work and had a half dozen of these gems in his big bear paw before I could even say hello. He loved them as well. Thanks for sharing. *Made for Spring PAC 2009*
