They went over well at a party. Very Peanut buttery so good for the PB Lovers heart. A little sweeter than I expected though so I will probably only do a cup of sugar next time, but I also did half dark brown sugar / half white sugar since I didn't have light brown. Chocolate chips really do well in this cookie! I did some with and some without. You CAN find vegan chocolate chips without the milkfat. It's worth it. :D When you taste the raw dough it doesn't taste very good, so don't go off that thinking it doesn't taste good. In my search for a vegan pb cookie recipe I also came across this single serve recipe, which is essentially the same recipe as shown here but for one - http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/07/26/single-serving-peanut-butter-cookies
