Hands down my favorite peanut butter cookie. Did not make any alterations to the recipe.

I highly recommend using chunky peanut butter. Best cookies we’ve ever tasted!

Yield of recipe is 24. I used a 2 tbls scoop and got 51. 16 minutes on convection. A great peanut butter cookie

Great cookies! They’re not too sweet, they have a good crunchy texture and they allow the main ingredient to shine. I used smooth peanut butter and added a few tbsp chopped, roasted peanuts.

I thought these had good flavor, but they were a bit too dry and crunchy for my taste. I prefer really chewy peanut butter cookies. I could try reducing the baking time, but will probably just use a different recipe next time.

These peanut-butter cookies are huge and always a hit at work. Use a kitchen scale to ensure uniformity. Photo: http://flic.kr/p/9VaKqg

Another note: Ingredient list should indicate CHUNKY peanut butter.

Another wonderful recipe from Flour. Didn't have quite enough Super Chunky Smuckers peanut butter, so used some All Natural Teddies Smooth to get the full amount of peanut butter. Each cookie is 58g of dough. Each cookie is made into a ball before "smooshing" down. Added 5 semi-sweet chocolate to about half the balls for the one chocolate lover in the house and this worked very well.
