SO HOW'D IT GO?
I really like these cookies the way i made them but since I mixed pretty much all the suggested changes from the reviews, I don't think these would have turned out as well if I had gone with the orignal recipe. I added some honey, substitued applesauce for the egg replacement, added almond extract, put in oats, reduced the amount of flour, increased the amount of peanut butter,and put in some of a banana. I COMPLETELY forgot to add margerine too, but they turned out fine (would be better with it though). With all these changes I found that everyone's complaints about being too dry, not sweet, and not peanut buttery enough were solved. Good base recipe though. ;)
These are sooooo good!!!! I have made these cookies several times and they always turn out great!! Try adding chocolate chunks. You won't be sorry.
WOW those cookies look AWESOME!!! ashleykimball
I am really surprised by all the rave reviews of this recipe. I have tried them twice (thinking the first time was an anomoly), and both times they were too dry, barely tasted of peanut butter, crumbly, and not very sweet. So disappointing. I will not be using this recipe again...
Martha Stewart , (nice name, by the way :P), it looks like these might do well with a bit of vanilla and a good pinch of salt to bring out the flavor-- so, if you haven't used all the batter, maybe you could try to mix in some salt? I bet some salted peanuts might contrast well. I'm sorry your cookies didn't turn out well, better luck next time?
maybe i didn't make these cookies right; but, i followed the directions exactly. everyone else seems to think that this is the best recipe on the face of the planet, but i think that they were payed off to make these reviews, because the cookies were hardly sweet, hardly tasted like peanut butter, and were too dry. They made a better tasteless sugar cookie than a peanut butter cookie. >:(
I tried this recipe last night (i had a horrible sweet tooth). These are THE BEST vegan cookies I have ever made! I used soy butter instead of margarine and they came out wonderfully. I had to stop making them because I thought I would eat them all! Even my partner, who is not a fan of peanutbutter, tried them and liked them. Excellent recipe!!!!
What beautiful cookies! I can't wait to make them!
Thanks Mizzoukitten!!
As my brother would say "Pilsbury got nuthin' on you." This cookie recipe is the sh*t. I love these cookies...even though I sort of hate peanut butter! It's not too peanut buttery, it has a wonderful chewy/crumbly/moist texture, and it holds together well. It's great to substitute half whole wheat, some flax seed egg, any liquid sweetner (i usually use brown rice syrup--maple syrup is expensive), some applesauce to replace some margarine...etc
(For the two-toned cookie, I just mixed half the batter with half a bag of melted vegan chocolate chips. I stuck both dough balls in the freezer for a while, then formed balls, flattened with a glass, cut out a heart, put it in the constrasting cookie, and then trimmed the edges nicely with a round cookie cutter (whew! ) It made 26 BIG cookies)
Beautiful Ashley! How'd they taste? Are you sharing? :D
