  I’m thinkin’ that this may violate your newly established “peanut-free zone”?

  your photos and step-by-step recipe are wonderful! i’m so glad i stumbled upon this

  HoneyB,
  Thank you! I have to say, melting the caramel is the toughest part of the recipe and therefore the most sinful

  Hi VeggieWedgie,
  Sorry… I’ll try to stop… but it’s so much FUN! Thanks for dropping by!

  Argus!
  Yes, severe violation of “Peanut Free Zones” thus the WARNING

  megan,
  I am so glad you stumbled upon my lil’ corner of the interweb! Hope you give the cookies a try, they are easy and stay nice and chewy for days… if they last that long!

  Happy Halloween,
  Betty

  Hi Happy Cook! Thank you I just finished up the rest of my dough and gave ‘em to some friends… the best part about cookies is sharing them with friends… wish I could send a few to you right now. But, if you give them a try - I’m betting you’ll be just a little bit happier! Send me some pictures if you try them and I’ll put them on the homepage! Cheers, Betty

  These are so AWESOME ! I really love a good PB cookie.

  I made some variations to the toppings that I’d like to share with you and the others.

  I spread about a teaspoon of Kraft Philly Cheesecake spread on a batch, WOW ! This is in the little tub, it’s new and awesome.

  I also made a Hazelnut cream spread and it’s out of this world.

  Cheers

  Hi

  These look lovely can you add milk to the cookie mix.

  Thanks

• 18. Average Betty  |  January 15th, 2009 at 8:35 am

  Hi Holly!

  Gosh, great question! I’ve never tried adding milk to this recipe… and I fear the dough may be a little too loose if milk was added, but you could start with a tablespoon of milk if you wanted to give it a try.
  My goal with this recipe was to make a moist, chewy cookie that is not at all dry. I think you’ll be surprised how chewy and not crumble-y they are!
  I do think a tall glass of milk to accompany these cookies is almost mandatory
  Hope this helps…
  Let me know how they come out for you.

  Cheers,
  Betty

• 19. Holly Webster  |  January 16th, 2009 at 4:25 am

  Hi Betty,

  I tried adding a little bit of milk to mixture and they turned out lovely.

  I was thinking next I might add some chicken stock so it will give the cookie a deep flavour.

  How do you think they would turn out?

  Thanks for your help again

  Holly

• 20. Average Betty  |  January 16th, 2009 at 9:43 am

  Thanks for letting me know about the milk! So glad the cookies turned out well.

  When I first read “chicken stock” I thought, “Huh?!?!” But the more I thought about it, it’s the savory-sweet thing. Like maple bacon or chocolate covered pretzels.

  I’ve never tried it, but I’m all for your experiments! They are great! I’m really eager to know if you try it and how it turns out.

  Cheers,
  Betty

  is betty crocker peanut butter cookie mix safe to use.
  just wanted to make sure with all the news about peanut
  butter.

• 22. Average Betty  |  January 22nd, 2009 at 7:56 am

  Hi kathryn,

  Of course I am not an authority on the peanut butter recall and I have no affiliation with Betty Crocker in any way.

  I did go to the FDA website that has the official list of what has been recalled and there is a search box where you can search for specific brands. Here is a link:

  http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/peanutbutterrecall/index.cfm

  You may have arrived here because of the “warning” in the title of my recipe. My “warning” is intended to be a humorous poke at peanut allergies and has nothing to do with the peanut butter recall.

  Hope this helps!
  Cheers,
  Average Betty

  I’m hoping to see a reply from the chicken stock lady. Is she serious? If she is, is this ‘the big secret’ to make your baking go from ‘lovely’ to ‘amazing’ cookies.

  Betty will you try it if we don’t hear back?

  love this site, just found it
  cheers,
  Maggie

• 24. Average Betty  |  February 10th, 2009 at 1:45 pm

  Hi Maggie,
  I know… the chicken stock… might be crazy, might be crazy good!
  So glad you found the site Will you still love me if I don’t try the chicken stock? LOL!
  Cheers,
  Betty

  Hey! betty ure peanut butter cookies r off the chain!!! How do u come up with cool stuff like this???

• 27. Average Betty  |  May 19th, 2009 at 9:28 am

  Hi samantha!
  Thank you! These peanut butter cookies are pretty darn good My nieces and nephews love them!
  My inspiration for these was a Pay Day candy bar, if you can believe that. I wanted them to be soft, most and chewy and really peanut-buttery!
