These are some serious good cookies. I made a half recipe and got 18 cookies. I need to say that the recipe ask for 5/8 cup of flour, I used 1/2 cup +1 tablespoon, after the cookie dough was complete I needed to add another 2 1/3 tablespoons as the dough was too soft to hold a ball shape. Adams crunchy peanut butter was used and Merckens dark chocolate. Don't skip the small touch of peppermint it really adds the elevating touch. 8 mins produces a wonderfully soft cookie that fills your mouth with chocolate peanut butter goodness. Made for Photo Tag.
