It's about time I rated these ,I suppose. I've had this recipe for over a year and I've probably made them six or seven times--they are really wonderful. I just happened to make them a couple of days ago, only to have BF's friends come over to watch the tour de france and eat them all!!! These are great--smaller cookies and really good flavor. The best ones I've made! (Note: I used margarine instead of shortening).

Otis Spunkmeyer move over! I made a double batch of these adding 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon because I love the added depth it gives. I used a small cookie scoop and only got 5 dozen cookies so I guess I made them a little larger than the recipe called for and they took just over 8 minutes to cook. I also formed all the dough into cookies and then flash froze 2 dozen before putting them in freezer bags in groups of 6. I wrote the type, date and cooking instructions on the outside. The frozen ones have been as good as the fresh.

These are my absolute favorite PB cookies! I love how they are nice and soft with a good peanut butter flavor but aren't overly sweet. I could eat them all myself! I let them cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to the rack.

Good, but I wished they were a bit more moist.

we made these tonite and its the very first time I have ever used shortening instead of butter in cookies and they turned out fabulous. The best lightest chewy cookies we have ever made!

Was looking for a peanut butter recipe that didn't need to be chilled. My kids don't have the patience to wait. These were perfect! I have a conventional oven so I lowered the temp and cooked a bit longer 8-9 minutes. But they are great!

These are wonderful cookies. We tasted PB cookies for the first time recently in Hawaii & fell in love. These are quite close, but have a lovely taste. Thanks Angel for sharing this great recipe.

Very good indeed...I used butter flavored Crisco and Jiff peanut butter which I think makes a big difference in peanut butter cookies! Hubby and sons loved them!

Mmmmmm.... So nummy! Not too sweet and my kids are just devouring them! Thanks for a great recipe! A tip for Chewy cookies: Reduce the heat to 360 (even 350 depending on your oven) and cook for 12-14 min (I used a tablespoon to drop on the sheets so my cookies were a little bigger). Cool on the pan for 3-4 min before putting them on the rack. I cool them another 10 min or so before putting them in the cookie jar and they are still nice and chewy. I use this method for all my cookies, but we prefer a chewy cookie.

I am sorry to give such a low review. We were dissapointed in these cookies. They were lacking in sweetness and were a bit hard. I adjusted the cooking time up and down to try and get the right texture and they never turned out soft. Anyway, again- so sorry.
