Test Kitchen Tips
For hearty cowboy appetites, double the size of these cookies. Just make sure to increase the oven time, baking these until they're golden brown.
Take care not to overbake, though: You want them to be crunchy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside.
Leftover cookies are great for crumbling on top of ice cream.

These cookies are outstanding. We changed from raisins to Craisins. We also changed from crunchy peanut butter to Sunbutter (sunflower butter) and used a cup of the Sunbutter with crushed granola 1/2 cup for the crunch to equal the 1 and 1/2 cup of peanut butter.. We top them off with mini marshmallows-we make a thumbprint indent in each cookie and bake for 10 minutes and then add 4 mini marshmallows and complete baking for another 5 minutes-they are very tasty-a quick dessert and tasty snack. They do not last long.

I have been baking for 50 years and these are the worst cookies I have ever made. The dough is way to dry and the cookies just fall apart and are dry and I followed the recipe to the letter. I will go back to using my own recipe thank you.

Based on other reviews stating these were too sweet, I reduced the brown sugar to 1 cup and the chocolate chips to one cup. Also substituted half the pecans for almonds and reduced cooking time to 10 minutes, even though I made them large. Turned out perfectly - great flavor and texture.

Haven't made it yet but I do know it will be good. Excepting the coconut and order of mixing the ingredients it a favorite of all my friends, church members and family.
Thank you for your work in making a great recipe. It is never easy.
