Instead of the Honey, I used Pure Cane Syrup. An added taste that many asked what I had added to make them taste this good.

Easy and just the right taste. The honey makes these cookies moist and mellow

Wonderful!!!! Can't eat just one. Cut the recipe in half, used my cookie scoop to make even portions and ended up with 4 dozen cookies.

These cookies were addictive! I cut the recipe in half, used my cookie scoop to make even portions and ended up with 4 dozen cookies. You can definitely taste the honey. Sooooo GOOD!!!

These would be better with a little less flour and rolled in sugar before criss-crossing with a fork.

Fab recipe, I live in the UK so adapted the measurements from cups to grams. I used 115g butter, 260g peanut butter, 340g honey, 375g plain flour and 225g caster sugar in addition to the other ingredients and it made a lovely batch of moist chewy cookies !

This recipe is awesome. Only bad part is that honey is pretty expensive (in my opinion) to use a cup of it at a time in a cookie recipe!

I always wanted to try peanut butter cookies and this version- with honey sounded like an interesting variation. The directions did not directly say that you had to use a mixer so I did not. It was surprisingly easy doing it by hand. My dough was a little crumbly so I added a bit of cold water to make it easier to handle. My cookies turned out perfect; at 10 minutes they were chewy, soft yet firm and tasted wonderful. Will make again! Might try adding chocolate chips next time though I know that would take away from the classic peanut butter cookie requirements; but my picky brother wants chocolate chips in EVERYTHING. :)

I love this cookie. Its soft and no brown sugar. I get heart burn from brown sugar, so i was happy to find this recipe. Ive been making it for a few years now. I add a 12 oz package of peanut butter chips. and OMG. Its almost sinful to eat these. lol I can't keep them long enough to put them in the cookie jar.
