A step is missing from these instructions. Step #7 should be: "Add 1 cup chocolate chips and mix. Reserve the rest for topping the cookie." Flattening with the fork is optional. I switched the chocolate for Heath Toffee Bits. Otherwise, great recipe.

I made a double batch of these. I scooped out the first 3 pans and they cooked just fine at 7 minutes. (I was making 2 pans at a time and rotating them halfway thru) I added a bag of chocolate chips to the rest of the mix and that pan that was in with the plain cookies needed just a tad bit longer-most of those cookies were droopy (but I already had 2 other pans in the oven so I ate the worst of them! sigh, what's a cook to do?) I cooked the ones with choc chips for 8 1/2 minutes total on regular pans and 10 min on these weird "air" pans that I only use for big batches. I am not a fan of PB cookies but they are really good w/choc chips in them. I made them for a big pot luck - along with a rich choc. cake and choc chip cookies so I wanted something non choc and these were great! Plus my hubby LOVES them!

I just pulled my last batch of these out of the oven and I can't stop eating them. I am going to be making another batch I had to post the review first. This is the easiest peanut butter cookie recipe ever. I like that they are so moist and chewy. This is a definate keeper in our house, I will be these often. Thanks so much for posting Anita, it is a great recipe.

Easy, quick, and tasty! I used butter and will cut down on the sugar in the future but i love how they're crispy outside and slightly chewy inside -- delish!
