    Why tell people they can "go to the recipe" when, unless you're a member the recipe is blurred out...why not be honest and state that you need to be a member to see it!

    its irritating you cant just go to the website and print recipe without signing up. So, you go back through and take notes to get details. ALL other sites allow you to actually see and print recipes.

    Here is my confusion, you say to use creamy peanut butter as opposed to chunky, but then you add a half cup of chopped peanuts??? What's the difference, doesn't make any sense

    I scoff at anyone that uses creamy peanut butter for their cookies. FOR SHAME

    Why not just use crunchy peanut butter?

    I think peanut proteins binding to water might explain why my peanut sauces for noodles always end up gloopy and thick instead of creamy! 😅

    I will definitely try this recipe! You are so right about using the correct type peanut butter. I only buy Adams natural, and tried making cookies with it...yuck. Now I see why. You really have to use Jif or Skippy type to make good ones.

    These turned out really great. I used half dark brown sugar half light because I ran out of dark. Still came out delicious! 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Erin, thanks so much for the science of saturated/unsaturated fat ratios. I never really knew why some baked goods differed in crisp-to-chewy comparisons.

    Baked this recipe with my husband this afternoon. Placed a Hershey kiss on the warm cookies while cooling.

    Omg, I was already loving this video, but then Erin brings out her mom?! Delight overload! When these at-home vids started, nearly two years after the start of the pandemic, and shortly after all the other YT cooks seemed to be heading back to food studios (BATK; Food52, et.), I wondered if ATK had missed the mark. But I
