"This is a no fail cookie recipe I make quite often, even the worst baker cannot mess these up. Baking cookies is not my favourite thing to do as a lot of the recipes I try never turn out for me, but, this recipe always works!"

These were some of the easiest cookies to make! I baked for 11 minutes and they are perfect. I followed the directions exactly and wouldn't change a thing!

Mine didn`t turn out like the photo it may have been because I used butter however they sure were great, I added in some mini chocolate chips, This is a great peanut butter cookie, thank you QueenBea!

FANTASTIC!! These really are "no fail", they are the PERFECT peanut butter cookie! Perfect balance of peanut butter and sugar and have a perfect slighty chewy texture. Every once and awhile I feel like peanut butter cookies and will try out a recipe, but I've never found one that turned out as good as these that I recall. I rarely use shortening but didn't want to alter the recipe so did use it with these and used chunky peanut butter. Thank you so much for posting this Bea! Made for the Billboard recipe tag game.
