Very Good for the Peanut Butter Lover! Also Very Rich! As mentioned by Sackville they would be great for special occasion. We could only eat one and thats enough (potentially a good thing I suppose LOL). We had No problem with the dough being crumbly or crispy and I followed the recipe exactly as written. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I am a cookie connoisseur of sorts 
I always appreciate a new twist on a cookie.

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!

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.
