Exactly what I was looking for! I live in a senior building and we get lots of jars peanut butter donated. . .and everyone gives them to me because I like to bake for everyone. Subbed some of the flour for whole wheat and wheat bran. Still wonderful. They didn’t last long in our community room. Have already made them twice. Once, exactly as recipe states and once subbing the flours. And don't leave out the peanuts! They make the different between a good cookie and a great cookie!

This recipe makes the best PB cookies EVER. My only alteration was to use 1/2 the amount of sugar it calls for. -
I cannot believe that this recipe has never been reviewed...Grant it ,it calls for the whole jar but so worth a splurge. They are even better the second day.<br/>My family and co-workers loved them and recipe was requested by several co-workers.<br/>I also used crunchy peanut butter in place of the peanuts.
