I just tried these, and perhaps because I live in a very humid place, they weren't crumbly until AFTER I baked them. Dangerously so. The addition of a couple of eggs fixed that problem, though, and I ended up with wonderful tasting cookies. Thanks for putting in the recipe.

i just made these and added 1 egg. they turned out perfectly. i will say it is VERY important to use unsalted butter. i didn't have any so i used regular butter and just cut it back to a 1/2 teaspoon salt. they were still a little on the salty side in my opinion, but my kids didn't have any problem cramming them in their mouths. :)

I tried these, ande while they are pretty crumbly, they taste awesome.
Great recipe, even if it is not what it was supposed to be!

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue Krista! Ugh although I am so sorry about your cupcakes. It's frustrating to have something you spent money and time on turn be garbage.

I think most of Martha's recipe are utter fails. I love that woman, but cooking and baking are clearly not her forte' as much as she wants everyone to think it is. Personally, I think she has minions churning out her stuff who probably tinker with it to get it all "just right". The only Martha recipe I've ever had success with is her chocolate chip cookies and the recipe isn't even hers, but her daughter's!! LOL Martha sucks...and so did her stupid banana cupcakes and miserable honey-cinnamon buttercream that I made yesterday. :D

That's awesome! Thanks Shar.

I'm a bit late in posting (was out of town -- not that you care) but those cookies look amazing.
I wish I weren't a food addict. I may have to make them regardless.
Under the guise of feeding "company" of course.

Thanks!

Laura, I hate when that happens... but you did the cookies proud, thanks to your experience.

I would love 2 or 5 right about now, please. They look DELICIOUS!

Too funny! One day I'll tell you the stories I heard from a guy who worked for her once.... You'll laugh.

I love peanut butter cookies and I'll trust you on this! Sadly, I am the only one in my house who eats them. Oh well, more for me!

Uh oh... does this mean I wasted my money when I bought her cookie book? Glad you were able to make this recipe turn out. Sounds like a good one for the lunchboxes.

Okay, I so have the same relationship with Martha cookies as you do!! I mean, holy crap the woman is an icon and I'm a pretty darn good cook, so how come I can't make her cookies to save my life?? Strange. But I'm glad yours turned out. They just needed a touch of... you! They sound super yummy- can't go wrong with anything PB :)

Prepare yourself to wince. "All's well that ends well." Great recovery from a difficult situation. They looks terrific. I've never made any of her cookies. Does she weigh her flour?
