This was a quick and easy recipe. They baked-up well being a little crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. This is definately a winner.

The original recipe calls for a full bag of peanut butter chips and no chopped nuts ("Double Peanut Butter Cookies"). By decreasing the chips and adding nuts, I have adjusted the recipe to be "Ultimate Peanut Butter Cookies." [I posted this recipe.]
