I made this recipe and I have to say that it’s the best Peanut Butter Cookie I ever had in my life and I’m 65 yrs old and have tasted many different peanut butter cookies. But this little cookie was a HUGE-Hit” with my family and friends that everyone wanted to know how I made them even one person who’s not big on peanut butter/cookies fan but he really loved these cookies. Of I told everyome that I put all the credit where it belongs and that’s with (TheCookingFoodie.com). I’m pretty confident”
I added 1/4 cup of milk to the dough it was very dry and crumbly with 2 cups of flour. Made about 30 small cookies. Delicious 😋
How can we replace egg as Iam vegetarian
Hi replacement of eggs
I had to add in about a 1/4 cup of milk to the dough as it was very dry and crumbly with 2 cups of flour. I noticed that your peanut butter was of pouring consistency while mine was creamy and not pourable. That could have made the difference. Perhaps next time I will try to warm up the peanut butter a little bit to making it pouring consistency. The cookies turned out good. I had to bake mine for at least 18 minutes.
