In reply to Cathy Bluthardt. Hi Cathy! I have not had anyone report using gluten free flour. If you do try it I would love to know how it turns out. :)

Excellent cookies! Made them for Father’s Day for my husband, and we all loved them, including me who’s not a PB fan. We had a guest over who ate 4 cookies, which made my day! I chose to use dark brown sugar instead of light, which worked very well. The cookies had a richer flavor overall than your plain ol’ basic PB cookie. Will definitely make again. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

These are FANTASTIC! You are my go to for all baked goods because I know the recipe will be great! You are so thoughtful in your development of your recipes. I actually made these with a 50/50 blend of softened butter and browned butter. I got rave reviews from family that they were the best peanut butter cookies they’d ever tasted. Thank you!!

In reply to Kamille's Mom. I haven't personally tried it, but I think it could potentially work. :)

Used Skippy Superchunk and cooked mine for 10 mins. Came out great! Also made a small batch with mini chocolate chips in them. Delicious! Great recipe, will make again. 06/11/26.

very good cookies. I added a fat half cup of toffee nibs to the batter and sprinkled a few on top of each cookie before baking. delicious!

I made these just to have the dough on hand and I baked a few for my family to try and my daughter wanted to give one to a dad at her sisters school that helped her when she got hurt. He said it was the best peanut butter cookie he’s ever had.

Bake these cookies for my sister who is a nut for peanut butter cookies… she gave your recipe a unanimous two thumbs up.
My husband ate the cookies, even though he is not a peanut butter cookie lover, and absolutely love them. Needless to say, this is going to my recipe book and I will make over and over again.

Didn’t think they could be this good, and I was wrong. They are honestly more delicious than other excellent PB cookie recipes I’ve followed. Make them exactly as the recipe states and you won’t be disappointed!

I have made one of your other cookie recipes before and now that I made these cookies too I can confidently say your recipes are LEGIT. I have struggled before with recipes written by AI and they are just… awful. I can tell you pour your heart and soul into your work. I will be coming to your website for every recipe I can. Thank you so much for your contributions to the world.

That being said, these cookies were amazing! They have the best texture and flavor. Everything blended well together. I made a few of them without rolling them in sugar before baking just because I don’t like when sweets are too sweet. They were perfect. I know my husband will absolutely love them.

These are the best peanut butter cookies I’ve ever had!! Other recipes I’ve made tend to be dry. These are so moist and it’s because of the amount of butter. My husband is not a fan of peanut butter cookies at all. I offered him one after I made these and he reluctantly took one. A few minutes later he asked for another cookie! This will be the only peanut butter cookie recipe I will ever use.

I am wondering if I fluffed too much air into mine because 39 grams was 2.5Tbsp and the cookies came out very fragile. But I gotta say… if you take a cookie dough ball, roll it in sugar, and eat it raw… its in my top 5 raw cookie doughs of all time!

This recipe makes just the right number of cookies. The cookies have a great texture. The emphasis on not over cooking is important. At 9 minutes in my oven was perfect. Just adding one more minute made them a little dryer. It’s important to adjust your cooking time to your oven.
Her advice or better yet education on the subject is great. Cooks usually don’t stress this aspect.
