Great Recipe! I did have to add about 1/2 cup Rice Milk, otherwise way too dry. Cookies came out moist. I also substituted 1/4 cup Agave Syrup instead of the granulated sugar (we are tying to decrease the sugar intake in our diets), and still came out really sweet. Also used Coconut Oil instead of butter...just fabulous! I added a dark chocolate morsel on half of the batch for the "adults" in the family. Thanks for this recipe, will use it again...for certain!!!

Not bad for eggless cookies. They basically melt in your mouth. A little more peanut butter is neded. However, I noticed that the sugars didn't melt too well, although I beat the cream mixture well (at least I thought). Next tme I will use fine sugar. You definitely have to press the cookies down because they don't spread out much. This one is a keeper.

8/10 will bake again.

They were very dry and did not have much of a peanut butter taste. Next time I will try slightly less flour, more margarine, and more peanut butter.
