These cookies taste great and they are soft. The only problem I had was that the dough is very crumbly. By the end of the batch I had a bunch of small crumbs so I threw the end away. The cookies tasted very good though. Thanks!

I have to base this on my brothers judgement to them since they were for him (and he didnt share). He gives them 10 Stars. He loves Pb cookies and it was his birthday last weekend. These are what he got Friday night. Two big bags full of the cookies. We left Monday and there were two left. He said they are soft and chewy and the pb filling is the cat's a#$ (his words). Thank you Sackville for a great recipe...he is getting more for Christmas with a copy of the recipe too.

These were great! A classic peanut butter cookie without the filling and an extra special touch with. I used a cookie scoop (like an ice cream scoop but a bit smaller) to make a uniform size/shape for the sandwich halves.
