  1. When I was buying jumbo eggs I found these cookies
    to have a better texture with more egg. So use less
    peanut butter and sugar per regular large egg.
    Taking it further, I always use less sugar in baking
    once I have tried the recipe. And I often add a
    couple TB oat or WW flour (I grind the old fashioned
    oats in a mini-food processor and keep it on hand to
    add to many items). Then add some mini chocolate chips
    to the cookie dough. Let set a few minutes to firm
    up enough to make into balls. Excellent cookie that
    was rated best by a 90+ year old when I was trying to
    find the ideal peanut butter cookie. (I use chunky
    PB too).

  2. I have been using this recipe for years, they are the best peanut butter cookies ever. They are great for people that can’t have gluten.
