Great idea, although I found the directions to be a bit lackluster. Some information as to what texture to aim for in the oven, whether we are talking about light or dark brown sugar and if the peanut butter should contain salt, sugar or no additions made the recipe a lot of guesswork (which to avoid is precisely while I choose to follow a recipe). The end product was yummy, although a little too cloyingly sweet for my liking, and my co-workers liked it, so overall a win.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2016-02-04","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"redcow"},"reviewBody":"I make these a couple of times of year, one being at Christmas.  They are excellent.  Very simple to make.  I, too, like that you make your own dough, not store bought.  If the dough was store bought, I probably would not make them.  A hint that might be useful---you should IMMEDIATELY press the peanut butter cup into the cookie.  I make it a point to have all the peanut butter cups unwrapped and waiting for the cookies to come out of the oven.  One time I used a caramel cup chocolate candy and they were just as good.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-01-11","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"camcraftymom"},"reviewBody":"These were my favorite new recipe for Christmas cookies this year. I had an easier time getting them out of the pan in one piece when I cooled them completely in the pan; otherwise the rim of the cookie wanted to separate from the bottom. The PB cups melt a little bit at first, so I added some sprinkles at that time, so they\u2019d stick.
