I don't bake. Eggplant Parmesan that takes hours to make...I'm all over it. Cookies...not so much. ;) This recipe, however, made a cookie monster out of me! So simple and absolutely delicious! I used butterscotch chips instead of peanut butter and added some chopped almonds. Thank you for sharing this fantastic cookie recipe, Kit! It is definitely one I will make over and over again. :)

Might as well add my 5 stars... These cookies were lovely. I used butter instead of the shortening, and subbed white chocolate chips for the peanuut butter chips because that was all I had. We also prefer a larger cookie, so we used aprox. tablespoon sized balls of dough, and baked for 13 minutes. They turned out great even so - a really nice, tender texture. My 4 year old would have eaten the whole batch if I let him... Thanks for sharing this recipe!
