Plump, moist, chewy, peanutty... all equal DELICIOUS! I did not have just regular salted peanuts so I used Honey Roasted Peanuts. Loved them immediately! Very easy to throw together and made 48 cookies with a small cookie scoop. Made for Camera-Less Chef Event June 2008. Great recipe!! I can't say it enough! :)
