PB cookies made with natural peanut butter?

Has anyone made PB cookies with natural peanut butter. I make our own PB, and love PB cookies but all the recipes I see say not to use 'natural' style, just the regular creamy store bought stuff. Any recipe suggestions would be appreciated.
My fav cookie of all time was a flourless PB cookie with just PB, sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla. Not healthy, but made a killer cookie. I can use EB, but don't know what to do about the eggs. Darn.
i know ive used natural pb in cookies before.. not stuff ive ground myself but tj's brand. i don't remember having any major problems with anything, maybe youd just need to add some extra flour since natural stuff tends to be alot more liquidy than the hydrogenated kind. also, maybe check into getting some skippy natural. the taste & texture is exactly like the unhealthy stuff, but it only contains peanuts, salt, and a little sugar. ive converted many a people to skippy natural that originally refused to believe it could be as good as the regular kind.
here's a recipe ive been eyeing for awhile - i flourless pb cookie that might be close to what you're looking for.. they just suggest egg replacer

I thought the cookies were awesome. I didn't have to change the recipe or anything. It actually calls for natural PB. I brought them to work & a coworker said she could really taste the PB. Not sure what that means - but I'll just take it as a compliment. ::)
I always use natural pb in cookie recipes (like ppc said, not hand-ground but from TJs), never any change.
Thanks everybody, deffinitely will make a batch after the kiddos go to bed tonight.
