My husband loves chocolate & peanut butter…I’ll have to make these for him sometime! 🙂
These look yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
When I was buying jumbo eggs I found these cookies
to have a better texture with more egg. So use less
peanut butter and sugar per regular large egg.
Taking it further, I always use less sugar in baking
once I have tried the recipe. And I often add a
couple TB oat or WW flour (I grind the old fashioned
oats in a mini-food processor and keep it on hand to
add to many items). Then add some mini chocolate chips
to the cookie dough. Let set a few minutes to firm
up enough to make into balls. Excellent cookie that
was rated best by a 90+ year old when I was trying to
find the ideal peanut butter cookie. (I use chunky
PB too).
I have been using this recipe for years, they are the best peanut butter cookies ever. They are great for people that can’t have gluten.
