So very retro, these old-fashioned cookies embody the very definition of what peanut butter cookies should be. Excellent! They taste they same way they did when I made them 40 years ago. What else needs to be said? Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT5 Zingo by a Saucy Senorita.

A rich crispy delicious cookie for us peanut lovers! I used all butter otherwise made as posted. The dough was very soft so the two hours of chilling in refrigerator is important-time to go do something else. The part about banging on the oven rack is interesting and sort of fun. Thank you tomsawyer for sharing. Made during ZWT5 for the Chow Hounds.

Well, there won't be any left tomorrow at my house! I made half a recipe using only the egg white for '1/2 egg.' Even after refrigerating for several hours, the dough was quite soft, it was workable and I used my cookie scoop to get evenly sized cookies - they don't spread much at all. Made for ZWT5.

My dad loves peanut butter cookies so I made these for a surprise for him! I followed the recipe exactly as written and we all enjoyed them. (Of course we had to test them before giving them to my dad LOL) Made for Zingo ZWT5.

These were stand-out cookies, to say the least. First, the dough is so light and fluffy but was very easy to work with and formed perfectly shaped cookies. And the cookies were soft and just packed with a peanut butter taste. I followed the recipe as originally written [using 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup shortening]---not 1/2 cup butter, as mentioned in Step #11 could be a possibility. And I thought the cookies were so yummy. I will keep this as my standard Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. Thanks, tomsawyer! Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.

These are a stand-by; time tested over and over! I used all butter and chilled for over 6 hours (that was the plan!) My yield was 38 cookies and they are GOOD! Maybe next time, I'll throw some peanut butter chips in, just for fun! Thanks for posting a classic, tomsaywer. Made for ZWT 5.

You can't go wrong with these cookies - there's nothing like a great peanut butter cookie! I added 1/2 cup of peanuts, for a little crunch. You can store the dough in the fridge and make a dozen at a time, if you wish, which is what I did with half the recipe. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5.

This are good though I would like more p'nut butter flavor. I used all butter - which made them thinner, whole wheat pastry flour and vanilla. I chilled the dough for about 20 minutes in the freezer which worked great. Thanks for sharing your recipe, made fro ZWT 5 ZINGO by one of the Cooks With Dirty Faces
