Wow. I'm going to go make some now. These look fabulous.
The 10 I ate for breakfast in the car were fantastic. Now I just need to find a way to have ice cold fresh milk in the car as well.
This is one of my favorite recipes although mine have never looked quite so pretty, I haven't gone that extra mile and rolled them and added more peanuts, great idea!
I didn't realize chocolate chips are GF. What brand do you use? These look delicious, although I'm not much of a peanut butter fan. My hubby loves peanut butter and I want to switch him over to as much GF eating as possible.
Great look to this page... beautiful cookies and women. Oh yeah, and a wonderful recipe. Cheers.
Thanks for this recipe! These were DELICIOUS.
I made these this morning to take to a super bowl party tonight. So simple and delicious, thanks!

Just made these and we enjoyed them! Thanks.
Hi! looks delish! just wondering, are these crunchy/crispy in their consistency?
Could almond butter be substituted for peanut butter?
I just made these for a family picnic & they were great!
I followed the suggestion to "use the whole bag" of chocolate chips. Now, I am all for lots of chocolate in my cookies, but they were a little hard to shape, and I ended up with too many chocolate chips after making the first pan-full. Maybe my bag of chocolate chips was bigger than hers? (I used Guittard 63% extra dark chocolate chips.) I used chunky peanut butter instead of adding crushed peanuts, so that may have been what made the difference. That's ok, I will just make some more dough! Next time, I will either try adding more chunky peanut butter, or I’ll start with ¾ to 1 cup of chocolate chips mixed in the dough, and add more on top if there are any empty spots.
I didn't see a yield with this recipe, and since I had the discrepancy with the pb / chocolate, I can't give an accurate measurement, but I would guess about 24 small cookies or 12 medium sized cookies.
@Frida Sjöblom: No, these were not crunchy / crispy in texture when I made them. They were soft & chewy and full of chocolate! (I baked them for 12 min. & they were eaten within a few hours of baking.) You could try baking them longer, but since there is no butter in this recipe, I am guessing that they would end up dry & won't really get a good crispy texture. If you are looking for a crispy cookie, I would use a recipe with butter and melt it instead of just softening it (as most recipes call for). Here's a good reference for the effects of different ingredients in cookies: http://www.handletheheat.com/2013/07/the-ultimate-guide-to-chocolate-chip-cookies.html
If you want to experiment, you could try melting the peanut butter, but I have no idea how that would turn out--especially since these cookies don't have any flour to hold it together. Good luck finding your perfect cookie!
Just made these! So good and soo simple. I used all-natural peanut butter with nuts in it already.
Mmm yum these look so chunky, just the way i like a cookie. thanks for sharing

Just made these and used organic coconut sugar. It has a mild sweetness and kind of nutty flavor. Didn't have crushed peanuts so I used 1/4 C almond meal instead. They were very tasty. I'll make these often.
