    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).

    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.
