With the classic combination of chocolate and peanut butter, it's no surprise these are my family's favorite cookies. Because of their ease of preparation, I'm able to make them at a moment's notice. —Faith Jensen, Meridian, Idaho

Was a rainy day and was craving cookies. I made these and my boyfriend loved them (as did I of course). I will definitely make these again! I did have to divide each ingredient, as we didn't need that many.

This is THE best cookie recipe! I followed the recipe exactly except for I only used 1 and 1/2 cups of chocolate chips and they turned out great! Will be making again for sure.

These cookies are fantastic!! The only thing I changed was I increased the flour to 2 1/2 cups and added a few more peanut butter cups.

These were delicious, but we had to cup the chips down by a lot. Also, we used the new mini peanut butter cups that are on the market now, which eliminates the chopping of the cups!
