I whipped up these cookies at 9 pm and had them in the oven within 6 minutes. They were a breeze to make! I had to swap creamy peanut butter for crunchy, mainly because I prefer the texture and find creamy versions to be an abomination. Before baking, I sprinkled a bit of sugar on top. While these may not be the most outstanding cookies I've ever tasted, they definitely win for being the easiest, fastest, and most convenient to make.

This recipe is incorrect. It calls for an excessive amount of sugar and the baking time is insufficient. The correct measurement should be only 1/2 cup of sugar and the cookies should be baked at 325F for 12-15 minutes. Lesson learned - always stick to original recipes.

Bake them in the oven for 15 minutes - 20 would have been too long. I sprinkled a bit of salt on them before baking and added a generous 1/4 cup of peanut butter chips. The recipe yielded 15 delicious cookies.

My new go-to favorite! I purchased a big jar of peanut butter recently and was thrilled to find the original recipe inside. These cookies are fantastic on their own, but I enjoy baking them in mini muffin tins and adding chocolate chips halfway through baking. It's a nostalgic treat that reminds me of my childhood.

Straightforward, classic, and absolutely fantastic. I have fond memories of different versions of this recipe from my childhood, and now that I'm a dad, I like to add a touch of creativity by using ice cream flavored syrups (like caramel, chocolate, and strawberry – because who doesn't love PB&J!), coconut, chocolate bar chunks, or chips, and more. Get creative, have some fun, and soon enough you'll have a batch of delicious cookies ready to munch on. :)

I absolutely loved this recipe! It was incredibly simple to make, and the best part is you can get really creative with it. I decided to dip half of the cookie in melted chocolate and then sprinkle it with sea salt and sugar – the result was amazing! My family couldn't get enough of these cookies, they wanted more! Thanks a lot for sharing this fantastic recipe!

We enhanced the flavor by adding raisins and a touch of honey, while reducing the sugar to less than half a cup. The result was fantastic!

Review rephrased: A helpful tip for cookie dough is to chill the formed balls in the freezer on the baking sheet for a few minutes before baking to prevent spreading. Although this recipe makes only 12 cookies, they turned out beautifully! Highly recommended. 😊🍪

Simple to understand, but the cookies were all broken...
