Well these are a little tricky, I took them out before they looked done because they smelled done. I let them sit on the pan for a few minutes before I took them off the sheet. They are deff. missing that crunch that crunchy chewy that regular peanut butter cookies have. I would suggest adding something for a bit of crunch.Also they are more cake than a cookie but taste decent.

I baked these this afternoon. I made the following modifications: I used butter instead of the no trans-fat 68% vegetable oil spread (the stuff is mostly chemicals) I used 2 eggs (Betty Crocker tend to like their cookies DRY for whatever reason) I used Grade B maple syrup because I had no honey in the house. They came out light and soft. I'm going to make a second batch with white chocolate chips and I'll add vanilla to the next batch for a more decadent flavor.
