Family favorite

Kristin Newman from HOBART, IN

As one of the few people who do not like chocolate chip/ chunk cookies these are great! This recipe has become a family favorite. I find them a little on the dry side but no one seems to mind that at all.
Disappointing

Nancy Brisebois-Good from rockville, MD

I was so disappointed in this recipe because it received a majority of great reviews and when I tasted it I totally agreed with the minority of the reviews saying that these cookies have a cake like texture and barely tasted like peanut butter. My husband said that they tasted good but he couldn’t taste the peanut butter in it and I totally agreed with him. They tasted good not great just like good chocolate-chips cookies. I won’t make this recipe again and I will continue to look for a great peanut butter cookie recipe…This was certainly not it.
simply the best

Deb Hier from CRETE, NE

my daughter made these cookies and entered them in the county fair...they did great and went to the state fair!!!
Delicious!

MARY JONES from VESTAL, NY

I just finished making these cookies and my husband has eaten 4 already. I did not have chocolate chuunks, so I used 3/4 cups peanut butter chips and 3/4 cups m & m's along with chopped peanuts. It worked out fine. Every cookie has bits of goodness in every bite.

YUMMY

Nicole Lachance from Stafford, VA

These cookies were so easy to make and they are so yummy. My family just loved them. We are big peanut butter fans and these have a lot of peanut butter in them. Will definitely make again.
Awesome!!

Nikki Trottier from INDIAN ORCHARD, MA

I made these last week for my nephew's 13th birthday (he doesnt care for cake, but loves peanutbutter cookies). I piled them high on the plate with a candle in the middle of a very big one for a big cookie cake! This recipe was met with rave reviews!!!! I will definately be making these again!!
Family Favorite

Desi Correll from Fishers, IN

These cookies are unbelievably delicious! I like to make these for my husband to satisfy his peanut butter cookie cravings. I've made these for friends as well, and am always asked to make them again! I do put my dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or so before baking - I do that with all my cookie dough -they seem to turn out better that way. Oh yes, I also added 2 3/4 cup more flour to the recipe - otherwise, I changed nothing. Give the recipe a try, you won't regret it!
Yummy

Di Ann KNIELING from NORWALK, CA

I made these for my friend and he enjoyed them. I think it could have used a little bit more peanut butter in it.
Yummy

Roberta Santick from Vernon, B.C. Canada1

Tried out this recipe today and must say it is yummy! Peanut Butter Cookies are a favorite in this household, but with the chocolate chunks added, they are fabulous! Half a dozen were gone before I got them off the baking rack and into the cookie jar. A must-have in any recipe box!!!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Beth Sigworth from HAVELOCK, NC

I baked a batch of these wonderful cookies the other day and they were a huge hit! The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is delicious, and I love the size of those chocolate chunks! WOW! I think to kick things up the next time I bake these, I'm going to also add peanut butter chips too. These cookies came out perfectly moist, and they don't last long!!! Heavenly!!!
PB Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Terri Hasty from Grandview, IN

My husband loves chocolate chip cookies and I'm always trying to find new recipes, this recipe was quick & easy and he loved them. My granddaughter, who is 4 years old just thought it was wonderful that she got to help make grandpa some cookies, thats how easy they are to make. She also enjoyed the batter with the large chocolate chunks. They tasted great!!!!!
My Kids LOVE these cookies

BONNIE WOLF from GALLOWAY, NJ

My kids love anything that is a combination of chocolate and peanut butter, so when I made these cookies they flew off the plate. They were moist and had great flavor. This is a recipe to add to my recipe book.

I abtained this recipe through my Foods class at the high school and ever since, this has been my favorite cookie. I make it usually more than twice a month and it's just delicious. It's also easy to make. Enjoy!

Great Taste

LEYNA SHAFFER from BEACH LAKE, PA

I am definitely going to use these for our cookie exchange this year. It's a great combination of flavors and a little bit different.
these are soooo good

MICHELLE PASHER from SLEMON PARK, PE

I made these for my kids today. I ran out of choc chunks so I used white choc chips instead and they were just as good. This is a very easy recipe to make, will definitely make them again.
Fabulous

heather jackson from rosenberg, TX

Usually my peanut butter cookies come out a bit dry, but these were perfect! I used the peanut butter and chocolate morsels and they were moist and delicious.
Couldn't stop eating them!!

Jo Ann Berlin from OCEAN VIEW, NJ

These cookies were sooo good, it was hard not to eat them all in one sitting. I had to try hard to save some for others. I know I'll be trying these again real soon.
Good.

Su Lewis from HOUSTON, TX

This was a good recipe that produced a crisp but chewy cookie. Very yummy will make it again. May try honey roasted peanuts.
These are great!

Rhonda Lindsay from Westminster, CO

My husband loves these cookies! Sometimes peanut butter cookies get a bit boring, but the combination of chocolate, peanut butter and peanuts is perfect. This recipe has come out the leader for hubby in his choices of fresh, home-baked cookies!
Heavenly

stephanie tyson from MARLBORO, NJ

I made these last night and brought some to work. The girls really loved it. I used a 13 x 9 pan to make pan cookies instead of using cookies sheets. Everyone enjoyed them.
This one's on my Gift List

Patti Harris from Edwardsburg, MI

Scrumptious!!! I've been searching for recipes for cookies to bake to give as gifts for part of my HUGE Christmas cookie baking binge. This one's a definite must! Merry baking to one and all. :)
WOW!!!

Catherine from Pensacola

These cookies were great! The dough was just as tasty as the cookies. I did a little altering, I added some oatmeal, add a little more brown sugar, not so much regular sugar, mixed chocolate chunks and regular morsels. They came out extremely good and they satisfed my craving for both peanut butter and chocolate!!
Excellent!

Jessica Burk from Princeton, IL

My foods group made these for an assignment and I fell in love with them. They are now my favorite cookie of all time, very yummy and satisfying.
Classic Good

beth Ruyle from Phoenix, AZ

I made these for my husband who loves peanut butter. I used creamy instead of chunky peanut butter and didn't add the nuts. I also tried Crisco sticks instead of butter. They came out so light and tasty! I haven't used chunks much in the past but using them for these cookies was a welcome change from the morsels. I think I'll put these in my regular cookie rotation.
Good

Shaynal Pinder from Snellville, GA

These cookies were good, but I don't really like chunks of peanuts in my cookies. When I make these again, I'll use creamy peanut butter instead.
prize winner, for sure!

Pam Marsh from Madison, IN

I made these cookies for my Bunco club and they were the hit of the party. I had to print out the recipe for everyone there. They were tender yet crunchy thanks to the peanuts. My Son-in Law loves them w/almonds and milk chocolate added with the semi-sweet chunks. try it for a change, you'll get raves!
Awesome Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Paule Hocker from Eden Prairie, MN

These are great. I have made them twice now and the cookies just disappear. I did not put the peanuts in, because I have a little one. But the cookies were still awesome. Even my friends who don't like peanut butter ate these!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Mary Williams from Springdale, AR

I really liked the peanut butter that goes into these cookies. They are very tasty. Would love to make them again.
Hard to stop eating

megan ksionda from Tucson, AZ

I made the dough last night and cooked them this mouring. I've been craving peanut butter. I really like this recipe, my only problem was that I didn't have enough chocolate, so I just put one chocolate piece on the top of each cookie. They would have been much better with more chocolate. They're good when the chocolates melted and you spread it on top.
Super!

Sandra Waller from Sarasota, FL

I made these without the chopped peanuts and they were every bit as good. The chunk chocolate gave them some real character and we thoroughly enjoyed them. This recipe is a keeper!
BETTER MAKE TWO BATCHES

Tracie Hope from Rexburg, ID

I MADE THESE COOKIES LAST WEEK FOR A BBQ HOPING TO HAVE SOME LEFT. WAS I EVER WRONG THEY DIDN'T LAST LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO THE COOKIE JAR. THEY ARE A NEW FAVORITE IN MY HOUSE.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Terry Franquez from Alexandria, VA

These were pretty good, I'd hoped for more peanut butter flavor. I used extra chunky p.b. and left out the peanuts, maybe that would've worked better. They were fab right out of the oven though!!
WOW are these GREAT!

Beth Anne M. from New York, NY

I recently made these cookies for my father's birthday and they were a HUGE hit! If you like chocolate and peanut butter, you won't find an easier and more declicious recipe! The recipe has been added to my permant collection and will be made many more times.
sweet

TAHSA VICTOR from houston, TX

When I say that, I mean it in all aspects of the word. great taste, nice and easy to make, and it cleans up quickly too.
YUM

MARILYN FRIES from New Carlisle, OH

These cookies are yummy and easy to make too. Use a cookie scoop to make even sized cookies quickly!
Just Like Peanut Butter Cups!

Lisa Roberts from Bel Air, MD

For those who love peanut butter cups, these cookies are the best. The peanuts give them more texture, but they're just as wonderful for those who prefer creamy peanut butter and no nuts! Chocolate chunks helps the chocolate flavor not get lost in the peanut butter flavor.
Great Peanutbutter Cookies

Julie Oates from Indpls, IN

This is the best recipe for peanutbutter cookies I have tried. My family loved them and this is the one I will be using for now on. I used peanutbutter chips and chocolate chips and omitted the nuts. Wonderful recipe, my favorite.
Tasty

GAYLE MORGAN from DEWITT, IL

These are great if you love peanut butter and chocolate.
YUMMY!

debbie lemen from

I ommited the peanuts in the end and added peanutbutter chips with the choc. chips. Very good. My kids loved them.
Tasty

Gail Partin from Bristol, VA

These have a really good taste. They are quite crumbly, but not so bad that you can't enjoy them. The texture may have been effected by my substituting though. I used a whole cup of crunchy p-nut butter instead of a 1/2 cup p-nut butter & 1/2 cup of chopped p-nuts. I also just used the regular semi-sweet chocolate chips, not the chunks. Hint: Be sure to allow the cookies to cool a little before removing from the pan. If you don't, they will fall apart. Overall, there are very good cookies. I will make them again.
Holiday chips

Annette millett from Rockland, ME

I used holiday chips and did not add the peanuts, it worked out very well.
