    Like many others here, my cookies (weighed to her specification of 45 g) took a full 14 minutes to bake and I am really puzzled re: how she expected them to be done at 9 or 10 minutes? Regardless, these are very good. I used lightly salted honey roasted peanuts and rolled the 1st pan cookies in vanilla sugar before using the fork and left the other pan plain. We certainly like both versions but perhaps not surpsingly the ones rolled inthe vanilla sugar are better :)

    This is just an update to my previous note. I made another batch of these cookies and per my husband’s request I left the candied peanuts whole. It was easier todo than I anticipated. As I was pouring the caramelized nuts onto the parchment paper I separated them as much as possible when spreading them out to cool. When the nuts were fully cool I used my fingers to break apart any peanuts that were stuck together.

    This will now be my go-to peanut butter cookie recipe. The candied peanuts really add the wow factor to these cookies. My husband wants me to make them again and try to leave the peanuts whole which will be a bit of a challenge because they tend to clump together but I’ll give it a try. My cookies were perfect at 14 minutes, slightly browned with a lovely crunch.

    Very good, fairly standard recipe than can be made quickly. 1/2 recipe yielded 14 cookies. I baked the cookies 14 minutes, at which point the edges were barely brown. They were still softer than I'd prefer, so next time I'll bake them longer. Flavor was great, even without the candied peanuts, which I'm sure would take them to the next level.

    These are delicious! Loved the addition of the candied peanuts. They were a little cumbly but that could be my fault.

    Although I didn't add the candied peanuts to the dough, these cookies taste great. Soft and peanut buttery. Definitely worth making!

    Winner! This will be the only peanut butter cookie recipe I use from this point on. I am trying different recipes for the candied peanuts.
