Triple Play Peanut Butter Cookies

Submitted by Mom4Life

"These cookies are 5 star in my opinion. They're thick (almost 1/2") and dense, crisp around the outside edge, a firm "chew" as you get away from the edge, "lip smacking" rich, peanutty, and not too salty. They not only taste great, they look great too...golden brown and slightly crinkled on top.--described perfectly by a poster on another board. YUMMY! is all I need to add."

These were wonderful little cookies. The peanuts made them taste so much butter than just the normal peanut butter cookie. Yummmmmy! Thanks for posting.

These were amazing! I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 margarine, omitted the peanuts as I used chunky peanut butter, and used the chocolate chips. I will be making these again. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Wonderful and yummy cookie! I used 1/2 butter and 1/2 butter flavored shortening and light brown sugar as that is what I had. We love peanut butter and chocolate so I used chocolate chips, but I will make these again with peanut butter chips, too. Thanks for sharing!!

these were really good. i added some oats so they were a little different. i didnt have any pb chips so i used some little pb cup chip things.. they were ok but pb chips would have been better, next time. i didnt use the peanuts since i used crunchy pb, and i actually cut the butter down a bit. they had a great texture esp if they wern't over baked.. i found that 9-10 min was perfect for mine. the overbaked ones were too dry. but very nice crispy outter edge with a nice chewy center. one of my students who i bake for on a weekly basis claimed these the 'best yet'! thats saying something! i'll keep this recipe
