I made these cookies. They truly are the worlds best. Yields about 2 dozen cookies. Yum!

Very easy and the best found on this site. I compared to Jif and other peanut butter brands versions and this beats them hands down. Yield was about 30 and very tasty:)

These are great. My family could not get enough of them. They were super easy too.

I just made these to send to a bunch of our deployed employees. The broken ones were eaten by other employees. I have been told by everyone these are the best Cookies ever!

Just made these for tail-gating tomorrow. Outstanding...wouldn't change a thing.

how much does 2 sticks of butter equal? We buy our butter by the pound - which equals 2 cups. Thanks

Hi Rhonda,

Two sticks of butter equals half a pound; a pound of butter has 4 sticks.

Happy Baking,

Rhonda: one pound of butter is 2 cups. I often buy butter by the pound block so just cut it in half or quarters as the recipe dictates. Cut into four, the result is each piece is 1/2 cup. Good luck. I like the way everyone kind of "tweaks" recipes and gives good ideas. Good stuff.

2 sticks of butter is one cup. One stick of butter is half of a cup

This recipe gives no shaping or size instruction or whether or not to grease the cookie sheet. I made them large (rounded tablespoons of dough) and did not grease the pan. I also did the classic criss-cross with a fork. I baked them for only 9 minutes and they came out well and made 4 dozen cookies. I can't imagine how large they would be to only get 2 dozen and take 20 minutes to bake.

I made these cookies and found that cooking them for 20 minutes in my oven was way too long. The first batch burnt a little on the bottom and I took them out at 17 minutes. I cooked the other batches for 12-15 minutes and they turned out much better. I found the recipe made about 4 dozen cookies.

I love these cookies, very peanutty and just lovely. I did use unsalted butter so added 1 tsp of salt. I chilled the dough as I like a really thick cookie. Really great.

Do ya'll only print the good reviews? This cookie recipe was horrible. I wish I hadn't stumbled upon it. Its not the best but the worst peanut butter cookie recipe ever. Don't try it, you'll be sorry.

THANK YOU KAREN!!! These cookies were not the greatest. But according to everyone else they were just great... I wasn't a fan.. sorry!

Personal preference, but I find these "average at best".
Not enough peanut butter flavor and not "chewy". Still looking for that "great recipe"...

Michael, my grandma had a cookbook she bought and it has the absolute best peanut butter cookies recipe ever! It can be soft and chewy when it comes out and crisp and perfect when it cools! I can get you the recipe sometime, but I forget what the recipe book is called, sorry haha, Kwynn

Very easy, made 1-1/2 x recipe, still playing on time.. I like my cookies crunchy and my kids like them chewy.

I added 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract and it made the peanut flavor "pop".

I finally found the old recipe I've been looking for. I'm sure my family will love them. thank you

These cookies turned out really great and they were very simple to make. I greased the cookie sheet and I also chilled the dough before I cooked them, although the recipe did not say to do that. This recipe makes a lot more than 2 dozen cookies if you are making regular sized cookies.

I made just a slight change. I added about 2 cups of peanut butter (whole jar of Jif 18 oz. weight) and just 2 cups of flour. (any more flour would have been too thick to stir). Baked exactly 12 minutes and they turned out great, but they are crunchier than I thought they would be. Similar to the texture of Pepperidge Farm Cookies in the white paper bag. But they were delicious!!
