These are high on my peanut butter cookie list. They are big, fat, full of peanut & peanut butter morsel chunks, and soft.

I have been craving peanut butter cookies for a while now. I think this entry is a sign that I should make some.
this is my new favorite peanut butter cookie. when i saw your picture, i had to make them. the texture is incredible. i put in mini chocolate chips because i love chocolate w/ peanut butter.
I just tried these…and well, they didn’t really taste very peanutty to me at all! Everyone else really liked them and could taste the peanuts. I will mention that I only put chocolate chips in–I didn’t put in peanut butter chips. Was that were I went wrong??
Hi Laura,
Hmmmmmm. Those cookies are usually pretty peanutty. However, I’ve always made them with the peanut chips. I love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, but maybe this was a case where the chocolate took away from the peanut butter. If you find a peanut butter recipe you like better, let me know.
Thanks for the feed back
These cookies were awesome… my coworkers gobbled ‘em up. I made some with M&Ms tucked stuck in the top, which made them both prettier and tastier than the ones without.
Thanks for the recipe!
These cookies were amazing! I made them as big cookies (1/4 c. scoop) and they baked up fat and soft. I froze several and have been pulling them out every now and then to have after lunch or for an afternoon snack! Delicious!
I finally made these – and they’re fabulous. I didn’t make any changes, but I just wanted to add to the reviews – these are completely worth making if you like peanut butter cookies and want more peanut-buttery goodness than in your normal cross-hatch PB cookie. Thanks for the recipe!
Fantastic cookies. I cut down the white sugar to 1/2 cup and it worked just fine. I used half Smart Balance peanut butter and half Skippy Reduced fat peanut butter. I think they do need the peanut butter chips though, for that true peanutty taste. Now of course I have to keep them separate from my other holiday cookies, in case of peanut allergies.
These totally hit the spot! I was badly craving PB cookies, but only had whole wheat bread flour (2 babies napping so I was stuck at home with what I had). I think the whole wheat gives them a unique heartiness. Super-yummy!
