For the first batch I followed the recipe to the t and the cookies came out very crumbly so the second time I mashed them together in my hands and thye came out slightly better. Thinking I didn't mix the dough enough, mom insisted it was finished. BUt the recipe said smooth and the dough wasn't.

I made the same cookies just the other day for a meeting.

You really do have to make sure that the dough is well mixed. Otherwise they should turn out very good.

Do try again, they are worth it. :D

What proportions did you use for the 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies? I make them all the time for DH and they always turn out. Now if only I could dig up my recipe...

1 cup of peanut butter

1 cup of sugar

1 egg.

The ones that I rolled in a ball and then put on the baking sheet and flatten with my palm came out great. But the ones I did following the recipe ( drop spoonful onto baking sheet) are crumbly.

I used that same recipe--and added a teaspoon of vanilla to it :P

I used a very small ice cream scoop to put them onto the cookie pan. Probably, the heat from your hands softened the peanut butter just enough to hold the ingredients together. I've never had that problem--the dough has always been more creamy.

I've rolled them into balls and then rolled them in sugar and flattened with my hand. Makes them nice and sparkly for the holiday. :P

I make the Kraft recipe that calls for only 1/2 cup of sugar...maybe that would make a difference to the consisency. The recipe calls for rolling it into balls and then flattening:

1 MIX together 1 cup Kraft Smooth Light Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 egg.

2 ROLL into balls and flatten with fork on ungreased baking sheet.

if you used natural peanut butter, they don't work as well.

I make these cookies all the time. The best advice I can give is to make sure that all 3 ingredients are mixed evenly. Also, I only bake mine for about 8 minutes on 325. This makes them come out kind of chewy once they cool....sort of like the edges of a brownie...YUM!

The recipe I used is 1 c PB, 1 c sugar, 2 eggs (not 1). They turned out wonderfully, and they were a hit at the church potluck and at christmas dinner!

I made peanut butter cookies, used a regular recipie, substituted a 4 blend flour and added 1/2 tsp. xanatham gum to it, they turned out great. I also made chocolate chip cookies off the back of nestle chocolate chips and added 1/4 tsp. xanatham gum, they were great

I use brown sugar instead of white (1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 egg), add the teaspoon of vanilla and roll them into balls in my hands. I also put chocolate chips in them. Very good. I haven't yet come up with a cookie made with flour that I like but the Eagle milk and coconut (what IS the word for those cookies? senior moment :) ones are good.

A whole TABLESPOON? Are you sure? I put in a 1/2 teaspoon and am happy with the results.

Dad loved both the cookies and the marshmellows, however I didn't realize he's watching calories. Oops. Oh well he's trying to figure out how to use a sugar substitute, which will suck because I'm allergic to artifical sugars.

The ones I rolled in a ball came out perfect, and I'm making some more for New Years with the regular sugar. I'm gonna use chunky peanut butter and try the vanilla. That's about all I'll change this time.

Think I could make almond cookies like this using almond butter? It has the same consistency, but it's almond.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
