Peanut Butter Cookies
It is amazing how much flavor these simple peanut butter cookies without brown sugar have. I make them very often because I always have the ingredients on hand. —Maggie Schimmel, Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

These are so delicious and easy to make! Only 3 ingredients and they're gluten-free!
It was amazing, be sure to read all the reviews on how long to cook them. 18 mins is WAY too long. Also don't add sugar on top of the cookies until done. Just a failure on instructions part that's for sure.
These cookies were very easy to make and tasted great. It's amazing that they contain only three ingredients! They come together quickly and were delicious.
Not the recipe that I have from 4-H 60 years ago
These cookies are really good and SO easy to make! Added them to my Christmas Cookie trays and they were a huge hit. Next time I'll double the batch! A great recipe to have all year round because you can throw them together at a moment's notice. And I always have the ingredients on hand! Baked them for around 15 minutes and they were perfect.
I bake them for my club meetings and the are a big hit and I got moved to club CHEF!
I've made these for years. Sometimes I use crunchy peanut butter and sometimes I add mini chocolate chips. To those giving only one star because you burnt your cookies, perhaps your ovens cook hot. Also because of the amount of sugar, these should be watched for fast browning. I bake this recipe about 12-15 minutes in my oven.
My husband's grandma made this for all the kids and know I make it just for us .the easiest recipe I have
This recipe is a joke! I tried making these twice and both batches burned! The first time I made as directed but set the timer for 15 minutes as opposed to 18 and they were burnt within 7 minutes so I tried again. Same thing happened only I set the timer to 5 minutes and took them out at 4 minutes and the bottoms were again burnt! I cook and bake every day and I've NEVER had an issue like this before. Extremely disappointing not to mention annoying as heck.
The recipe is super easy but peanut butter cookies should taste like pillows of peanut butter. These taste like cooked or burnt sugar with the after taste of peanut butter.
