These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to peanuts, but I can still enjoy these cookies. I just use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. I always have a jar of peanut butter in my pantry, so I can make these cookies anytime.
