Expert Tips

Have just crunchy peanut butter on hand? Go ahead and use it for a peanuttier, slightly bumpier cookie.

In a hurry? Use one pouch of Betty Crocker® peanut butter cookie mix instead. Immediately after baking cookies, be sure to top them with chocolate candies.

I cook these at 360 degrees and for 9 minutes in my oven. I also put chocolate sprinkles in the batter and I put the hershey kiss upside down to prevent it from rolling off the cookie!!! Excellent!

They taste great but for some reason like the others said they spread out a lot in the oven and came out flat like regular cookies that just happen to have a hershey kiss on top.

These are very good! One thing I would recommend is keeping them small! They spread out a lot in the oven.
