I was also able to easily make these vegan and pretty much cholesterol free by using Ener-G egg replacer powder.. I’ll try applesauce (1/4 cup) next go around. I’ll also try half natural and half conventional peanut butter. This was an amazing find!! Thanks so much!

These were fantastic! I added a little ginger, cinnamon, and about 1 tablespoon of molasses, which really intensified the chocolate flavor. I will be using Thanksgiving as an excuse to make them again.
Heather, I used natural peanut butter successfully, it will just create a much drier pb mixture (because of the lack of shortening I think), but not dry enough to ruin the flavor.
My pb mixture was dry and crumbly, but just moist enough to hold together in very solid balls if you compress tightly. From the reviews I assumed I’d need to chill them to work with them as many said their mixtures would not form balls, so I chilled them until I was ready to assemble, but this proved unnecessary with natural peanut butter. The cookies stayed in balls when they baked because of this, but after my first batch I pre-flattened them before going in the oven, and they came out great.

Is it okay to make these with natural peanut butter? Has anyone tried? It looks like maybe that’s what Scott used (organic means probably natural as well). They look AMAZING and I plan on making them for a dinner party this weekend.

These look amazing and so moist.. I have to try them for a peanut butter lover friend of mine. I intend to add them into a gift basket with peanut butter popcorn and other treats. It’s the middle of summer and I have no AC, but I must fight the odds and make these glorious cookies! I’ll keep the dough in the fridge as much as possible… looks like I’ll need a double batch just not to eat them all!

[...] make a peanut butter cookie with chocolate. Doing a Bing search, I came on what appeared to be a fun cookie. It was. I present it to you unabashedly displayed on the bread peel my darling daughter made [...]

I am not happy with vanilla extract. If you substitute something like Juliet Mae, Vanilla Sugar; it has naturally flavored sugar and a whole vanilla bean to get a scrape. Anyway. as a substitute to the alcohol based extract it is most excellent. I am going to try the sugar in this recipe cause these cookies look really worthy. I’ll blog the results…

“Booyah” is such a stupid phrase. Did you pick that up from Cramer?
