Thanks for posting this recipe. I'd been making these for years, then lost the recipe book that had the recipe. Outstanding chocolate & peanut butter flavor and simple to make. I knew Food.com (formerly Recipezaar) would have it!!

I was looking for a new cookie recipe to make with my 3-year-old granddaughter today and found this one. She likes to make the kinds of cookies that you roll in a ball because she can do it herself! These were really good and really easy to make! They are not going to last long around my teenage son and his friends!! Thanks for the recipe!!
