As an Ohioan and MASSIVE peanut butter lover, I can concur that these cookies are AMAZING! Pretty easy to make too! I definitely will be making these again!!

Delicious, decadent, delightful. Definitely had extra PB leftover because we liked ours with less, but definitely going to make this again!

In reply to Cecelia. Hi Cecelia! This is a gourmet cookie so it's designed to have a lot going on. The peanut butter actually cuts the sweetness as does the dark chocolate, so reducing these may be why you felt it was too sweet (I personally felt it was quite balanced, but if you don't like decadent gourmet cookies, these just may not be for you). Thank you for your feedback!

This cookie just has too much going on. It is incredibly sweet to the point where it’s basically inedible. The chocolate cookie by itself is wonderful, but it becomes overwhelming with the pb and chocolate layers. I even used half of the amount of pb and chocolate layers that the recipe called for.

In reply to Trisha Cawley. I didn’t check the butter temperature, but will make sure I do next time and let it chill for an hour. Thanks!

In reply to Trisha Cawley. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Trisha! Did you add the sugars to the butter while it was hot? Did they chill long enough?

Just made these today while visiting my kids. They are decadent and so good. My only issue is mine spread. I did put them in the fridge for 30 minutes. Should I have done it longer? I am sure I followed all the steps but ended up with much bigger but thinner cookies then planned. It’s an amazing recipe.

Since my bakery always sells out of theirs until I get there, I thought I would search to see if I could find a recipe to make them myself. I am so thrilled I found your site! These cookies are amazing! It took me more than the total time stated, but they were well worth it!!

In reply to Ashley D. Hi Ashley! If you feel more comfortable you can certainly refrigerate them in an air tight container. For best results I like to serve them at room temperature. :)

These cookies never fail and my only regret is that I’ve come this far without having them in my life until now!

are these safe to leave out of the fridge if there’s heavy cream in the top layer of chocolate?

Thanks so much for this recipe – there aren’t many like this! We were trying to replicate a cookie from a local bakery and finally have found a way thanks to you. Only thing is that it does take longer than the recipe states, as there are several rest periods needed. Everyone loves these and it’s such an impressive cookie!

I made these cookies several times, by popular demand. I even won first place at our Christmas baking contest at work.

In reply to Molly. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed them so much, Molly! Thank you for the feedback in making them gluten and dairy free. I frequently get asked, but don't have the opportunity to try it so the input is very helpful. :)

These cookies are one of the best things I have ever made and I am not exaggerating. Never have I received so many compliments from people for making something as when I made these. People were raving about them. I was apprehensive to make them when I looked over the recipe because of all the steps. However, do not worry. If you follow the recipe, they will turn out perfectly. I actually even made them gluten and dairy free! I just swapped out the regular flour for gluten free flour, used vegan butter and then dairy free chocolate chips and almond milk for the ganache and it worked! No one could believe they were gluten and dairy free. These are going to be my go-to treats when I need to bring something. They also freeze perfectly. I am so thankful for this recipe!
