Kraft Kitchens Tips

Food Facts

Avoid using natural peanut butter in baking recipes unless it is specifically requested. The consistency of natural peanut butter differs from regular peanut butter and may produce less desirable results.

I was looking for a regular peanut butter cookie recipe made with flour, so decided to try these. I didn't flatten them out, I made them like I usually do with the 'criss-cross' pattern. Fresh from the oven these were great cookies, nice and soft. After placing the freshly cooled cookies in a bag to stay fresh, the next day, the cookies were hard as rocks. I had to throw them away. What a waste of time and ingredients. I will never make these again.

Very easy!! Did not add the cereal - made happy faces with chocolate chips on top instead. Very tasty and easy to make. My daughter liked pressing down the cookies with a glass!!

This is soo fast and easy to make!! It tastes very very good and the kids loved it!!! I didn't use the cereal, but it tasted wonderfully without it. The rich peanut buttery flavor is excellent!! I recommand to add peanuts or anything you think would taste good!! Enjoy!

I didn't put the sugar pops on the top, but I did crush up rice crispies in the cookie mix to make it more interesting. Everybody loved it.
