These were a hit at a party. However, if I were to make them again, I would just use a standard peanut butter cookie recipe and then dip in chocolate. These were too flat.

I've made peanut butter cookies before using a much more complicated recipe, so I was glad that this one is so simple. However, I found the cookies to be a little too dry. They need an extra something to make them more moist. I added M&M's on top instead of dipping them in chocolate, it was a nice touch. This recipe is good for anyone who needs to whip something up quickly.

I made these without the chocolate and nuts. The peanut butter cookies were almost too sweet. But the recipe is so simple, it was worth making and I'm sure I'll make it again next time I'm wanting peanut butter cookies.

This take regular peanut butter cookies up a notch. Very good and pretty easy to make. I even used the left over chocolate that I didn't use to over some mini pretzels. Very good!

I made these b/c I didn't believe they would turn out well with so few ingredients. I was amazed, and skipped the chocolate and nuts b/c they were already the best peanut butter cookies I've eaten. They truly tasted like peanut butter without the extra ingredients. I would definetly make them again!
