Flashes of Panic

This afternoon I made my second attempt at baking these particular cookies. It’s been a few months, actually. Someone at work made a batch and brought them in, which reminded me of how my mother used to make them. I asked her for the recipe, and she pointed out that it’s on the back of the bag of peanut butter chips.

Well, I’ve tried twice now. The cookies are supposed to bake pretty much in the shape they’re dropped, fairly tall, but instead they spread on the pan the way chocolate chip cookies do. The dough tastes right, the cookies actually taste right (except for the whole texture issue,) but they just aren’t quite coming out. And I can’t figure out what it is I’m doing wrong.

At least this time I failed with a single batch, instead of rashly trying to double the recipe. I did manage to break my blender anyway, so it may be a little while before I’m ready for the rematch.

Update: I went to the source. She suggested that I’m somehow shorting the flour. Hmmm.
