This recipe was scrumpdillyicious, chewy and gooey, and rich when they were fresh. Stored them in wax paper to keep the freshness. Will definately make again for the chocolate peanut butter lovers.

These are amazing! Absolutely decadent! Very easy to make and will plan on making these over and over again anytime I'm in need of a chocolate and peanut butter fix!

This is an awesome cookie recipe! I was looking for a chocolatey recipe to add some mint chocolate chips to. I made these tonight, and they are not lasting long! They are too good to leave on a plate. These are better than fresh double chocolate chip cookies from Subway! :D

These are my favorite cookies ever! Growing up we had them every Christmas season. Ever since I have been out on my own( and I'm in my 30's now) I just Love making them whenever I feel like it rather than only having them around the Holidays! Of course, I make them at Christmas too! I'm pregnant right now, and I'm looking forward to making them with my little girl in the holidays to come.

These were divine! I did add some whole wheat pastry flour, as I normally do with my baked goods (unless white). My cookies did not flatten. They stayed puffy and soft, but chewy. To avoid flat cookies, use some shortening in your recipes. I used 1/2 cup shortening, and I also used 1/2 cup brown sugar. They were perfectly delcious! This recipe is a a keeper!
