Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • ashallen on December 02, 2021

    These have a really nice, chewy texture which is rare to find in peanut butter cookies. I think I messed up the flavor balance though by using a not-very-flavorful peanut butter (trying to use it up!) and the darkest of the dark brown sugar brands I've cooked with. The cookies were so dark, they kind of looked like spice cookies and the molasses competed with the peanut butter flavor. My peanut butter was also a natural peanut butter, which they advise against using, but the chewiness survived, fortunately. My husband, a huge peanut butter cookie fan, liked these but still prefers our usual recipe (=lightly modified version of 1998 Cook's Illustrated recipe). I'll try these again with a better peanut butter and a lighter dark brown sugar.
