Expert Tips

For a special treat, sandwich two of these all-time favorites together with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Roll the edge in chopped candy bar or nuts.

Want the perfect bumpy top on your cookies? Wipe off any excess dough and sugar that may collect between the tines of the fork.

Tried these cookies tonight and they were great. The recipe was simple and easy, I added peanut butter chips to half the dough and chocolate chips as well as peanut butter chips to the other half. Best I have ever had. My search for the perfect peanut butter cookie recipe is over. No need to look any further!!!

I made these years ago when my kids were little. Now that my granddaughter is here I wanted to do these with her but the recipe sounded different. I did not remember having to wait 2 hours so I dug out my trusty BC cookbook and it had changed. Omit the shortening, double the butter and add ½ tsp of vanilla. No waiting just form into balls and cook as directed. So if you don't want the wait time go ahead these are fantastic.
