I made this recipe because I thought it would be better than all the other 'quick' peanut butter cookie recipes I had seen online, since this one called for more flour-I thought they would not crumble as much. I was wrong. I followed the recipe to the letter, and while the cookies taste good, they do not hold together, just fall apart in your hand. The are good to crumble into ice cream, but thats about it. Frustrating!

Like so many others, this recipe is the one I remember so fondly from my mother's battered and abused Betty Crocker Cookie Cookbook from the early 60s. I couldn't imagine not passing this one down to my own kids.
