Eating the batter raw was the better part of the experience. When baked they fell apart and were too fragile, the whole texture wasn't the right combo, and even under baking them didn't keep the edges from getting crispy. Will be looking for another recipe.

I have made these cookie two times now..The first time not so happy with the way they turned out..the taste was good but they were messy and didnt stay together...So 2nd time I put in A 1/4 cup of All- purpose flour...They were great this time they stayed together and tasted great the small amount of flour had no impact on taste!!!

Sorry but the cookie fell apart before getting in my mouth and then it was not the good.

The texture on these cookies are amazing. Soft, smooth peanut butter taste, rather than the typical crumbly peanut butter cookie. The kiss makes it taste like a peanut butter cup. Made some without the chocolate, easily the most yummy peanut butter cookie I've found.

fall apart too easily, crumble into a million pieces. Taste too sweet, like plain sugar.

I made this for two family parties and they were a HIT with both kids and adults! I was asked by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to make them for tomorrow's Mother's Day family get together. They are so easy to make and super delicious! I use Kisses with almonds instead of the plain ones though.

this recipe was horrible. the batter fell apart in my hands and was all crumby. then i baked them and they looked nothing like the picture or even a good cookie. they tasted grainy and dry. i went back and double checked my ingredients because i figured i screwed up. i didn't. i will never make them again.

This recipe is amazingly easy, tasty, and made without flour! I baked three batches this Christmas because they kept disappearing.

I was looking for something quick and easy, and while these were both, the peanut butter was overpowering.

This was such an awesomely easy recipe! I had all the ingredients on hand and usually do so it's something I can make through out the year with the kids. Plus they had a great time unwrapping all the kisses! I made a double batch, some for home and some for my husband to take to work. Can't wait to hear what the guys think!

Always a favorite!!!

I doubled the recipe so I had enough to take to two Christmas gatherings in one weekend -- SUPER easy. I over-baked the first few pans, thinking they had to get more golden before I took them out of the oven. Sadly, this led to flat cookies that looked odd when I pushed the kiss into the top. Learned my lesson by the last batch, however, and took them out of the oven just when they started cracking on top. Made them again tonight for a potluck at work tomorrow. Love them!!!

I've been making these since I was a teen. They are so easy that my six year old loves to make them now too.

So easy and delicious! I made these with the mini-kisses and just put one on top to keep the sweetness/calories down. Kids gobbled them up!

These are so easy! Just minutes to make and I couldn't believe no flour was involved. Yummy with a nice texture. I will be making these again.

Very good, I use chocolate stars rather than the kisses to lower the calories, and I find with the kisses it's just a little too sweet for me. Otherwise excellent cookies, one of my hubby's favs!

AMAZING!!! So soft, just the right flavor!! I have made 6 dozen of these in the last month. By the next day after I make a batch, there is only a couple left.

these were yummy! good texture too! instead of just chocolate kisses, I bought a mixed bag of kisses, mini reeses cups and rolos and interchanged those. At the end I drizzled white chocolate over the cookies! they were a hit!

These cookies can't be any easier to make and they are so peanut buttery good. I was sceptical at first that there was no flour, but so surprised at how well the recipe came together. Two thumbs up!

These cookies were a big hit! My best freind ate one and said they are way better than regular peanut butter cookies. And they are soooo easy too!

i've been making these for years but when it was given to me, it did not call for the vanilla, i just added it on my own. the kids also flatten the cookies with a sugared fork when we don't have kisses on hand.
