wanted cookies and had no eggs so thank you these are great I will use this from now on , I used peanut oil instead of vegetable oil. the wife likes that she can eat the dough raw without worry!

Yes, that's for sure. Raw eggs are sure a cause of worry nowadays although I assume organic pasteurized ones will much safer. And thank you for the feedback :) --DK

Great recipe and easy to cook. I love peanut butter! These cookies are delicious!

to Sal & everyone else that is wondering/curious/inquiring.... YES! without the eggs, they taste delicious!! if you do not have the maple syrup and/or choose to leave it out, they are STILL delicious! The directions say bake at 375 degrees F for 7 - 10 minutes...in my case, with my oven, 7 minutes gave me the most BEAUTIFUL LOOKING & tastiest cookies I have ever seen...your results may be different from mine, as cooking & baking results can vary from oven to oven, & also elevation can make a little/HUGE difference on cooking/baking. If unsure, check the cookies at 7 minutes, and also use a tooth pick to see if it comes out clean. if it does, the cookies are done.... I know it prolongs the baking, but you may/may not choose to leave them on the cookie sheet for upto 5 minutes then move to a cooling rack(mine fell apart if I did not let them sit for 5 minutes...after 5 minutes, I had no problems moving the cookies to a rack). These cookies are what I like to call, "Idiot proof"...meaning that as long as you follow the directions, there is no way to mess up this recipe. I think this would be a good recipe to help teach kids(say about 12 years old & up) the art of baking...and when they are finished making this recipe, they will even have a reward waiting for them!!!

All total, I think I have made about 35, maybe 40 batches of these cookies alone....this was NOT the only cookies I made for gift giving....I made 8 other varieties besides this recipe. Can we say Tired? Exhausted? Feeling like something that the cat left in the liter box.....

as I write this, I am making this recipe now...I used oil & no eggs... I will let you know how good or bad they come out..... first round, toothpick came out clean at 8 minutes...many of the cookies fell apart as I took them from the cookie sheet....maybe I needed to let them cool first? they hardened up after a few minutes...if looks could kill, these would be to die for. : P second round is baking as I speak....just took out the cookies....letting them sit for 5 minutes before I move to the cooling rack...letting them cool made a huge difference...none broke apart this time. End result? OH YEAH!!!! :D these are definitely to die for!!! absolutely deeeeeeeeelish!!!!!!! I'll be making 3 or 4 more batches & giving them as gifts!! :)

The cookies can be baked at 300F for 15 mins to make them chewier. Do they come out as well without the eggs?

i have 28ltsamsung microwave where to cook on low rack, high rack and which temp.

are these cookies as good substituting the oil for the egg? we have eggs allergies in the family.....need recipes for brownies/cookies/cakes thanks

one of our favorite dish using PB... not sure if you already know this dish :wink: CPK THAI LINGUINE Ingredients: 12 ounces linguine 4 tablespoons oriental sesame oil 8 green onions, chopped 5 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce 2 cups mung bean sprouts 1 cup finely shredded carrots Preparation: Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Transfer pasta to large bowl; add 3 tablespoons sesame oil and toss to coat. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 green onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté until onions soften, about 2 minutes. Add honey, peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, and chili-garlic sauce; whisk to blend. Simmer sauce 1 minute. Cool to room temperature. Pour over pasta and toss to coat. Add sprouts and carrots; mix well. Transfer to platter; sprinkle with remaining green onions.

what do you mean by unbleached all purpose flour is it different from the normal packet flour which we use it for regular use

I found your website through Photograzing today. I just had to make these. I must admit to omitting the maple syrup since I didn't have any. They came out fabulous regardless. Totally delicious. Thank you for such a great site! (and I'm completely jealous of some of your site's features as well. Very nice design!)

Thank you so much Jenn :) :) Appreciate it a lot! -- DK

My family are huge fans of PB we must go through a kilo every 2 weeks, mind you there are 5 adults and a 1 year old in my house. Will have a go at making these for my beautiful grandson who adores PB sandwiches.

I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER MORE THAN ANYTHING(BUT MY MOM)

I have been a peanut butter fan since childhood and I seem to have passed it onto my daughter. And now its my turn to pick that bone with you, I think! :) Btw, these cookies should be healthy, legumes aren't they? :D Are you asking for a penut butter recipe or a cookie recipe? I have a penut butter one on my blog (http://mydiversekitchen.blogspot.com/2008/01/home-made-peanut-butter.html) though I haven't poste any PB cookies yet.

Kewl nutritious cookies love they way they have raised up you could have handed me the empty bowl I would have cleaned it up!!!

I love peanut butter, too! I adore it in cookies, cupcakes and in satay sauce, to name a few. These cookies rock!

will try out soon,a long pending one too
