“So scrumptious! I have made these with Skippy and is amazing. Tried it today with Organic peanut butter and honey. Just as good this way. With this recipe I went with suggested 1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons of honey and 1 1/4 tsp. Baking Soda and took the oven down ” — a cook, 5.0★
“Not sure if I had already left a review but felt I needed to add my 2 cents. These are by far the best PB cookies I have ever made. I am not a peanut butter fan at all or a PB cookie fan. This recipe changed that. One of our favorite cookies now. Tossed my mom” — a cook, 5.0★
