I just tried making these and it was a disaster. When following the recipe as exactly written, the dough remained very crumbly. I rolled a few and put them in the oven as a test, but they just fell apart. I tried adding a little more oil and peanut butter to the dough, but when baked, the cookies wouldn't flatten and threatened to fall apart again. I left them in the oven a little longer, but they started to burn. Did I do something wrong or is the recipe flawed?

I was really looking foward to some peanut butter cookies. :(

Sorry it didn't work out. :-/ I checked VegWeb and they have three peanut butter cookie recipes. Might have better luck with these...

Each has comments left by people who have tried them. Hopefully that'll help.

i think the problem with this recipe is that it's just too easy :stinkeye:
i'll try making these soon, i'm thinking about maybe adding some soymilk to them ?

i just made them
here is what i did:
substituted 3/4 cup of sugar to same amount of brown sugar (just for the taste)
added about 1/3 cup of soymilk
and 1 ener-G egg

came out yummy

I made these a little while ago... and yeah, the dough was really crumbly and useless. so I added one very ripe banana to the mixture and a dash of plain soymilk and they held together just fine. and as an added bonus, they tasted banana-y.

I just use the recipe on the back of the Kraft Peanut Butter jar (subbing in egg replacer for eggs of course). It makes beautiful soft and chewy cookies.

I made these, but they crumbled when I put Hershey's Kisses on top (I was making peanut butter blossoms out of the recipe :)) They still tasted okay though :p

I made some. They were crumbly, so I just ate them crumbly. They still tasted great!

I have made those before, they are yum. I actually add some peanuts and a tablespoon of maple syrup to that recipe. Mine weren't crumbly.

I know what the problem is with these.

They're ripped straight out of the original Farm Vegetarian Cookbook which calls for 3/4 cup HONEY, not sugar.

Thus, the original recipe was more *liquid* and it worked perfectly.
(I know because I used to make them all the time.)

Just do agave instead of sugar and it should be okay. Maybe a touch of molasses for taste.

Throw that crumbly crap in a bowl with soymilk...

:drool: Peanut Butter cereal...

:nigel: Cheers!
