- Roll into tablespoonful size balls of dough, 2 inches apart, onto greased baking sheets. Flatten each, in criss-cross pattern, with tines of fork. I like to sprinkle a little sugar on top of the cookies for a bit of crunch. :o).

Yummy!!!! Yes these are quick to put together. I did make some changes as DH asked for oatmeal cookies and when I came across these I knew I could tweak adding oats into peanut butter cookies which he likes. I really think peanut butter his the one food he couldn`t live without. Well Katzen you inspiredme to create this Recipe #490362 recipe. I did make it gluten free. Being I used almond meal in place of flour which is higher in oil I cut back to 1/2 cup oil, (my choice was coconut oil) made for veggie tag. Thank you for the yummy goodness and John thanks you too! ;)

Simple and yummy, and oh so tasty. This is a fabulous cookie recipe that I will definitely use in the future. I did not use Butter Flavor Crisco, just regular margarine. Other than that, stuck to the recipe. They came out moist and chewy, and perfect. I do not want to share! Thanks for the recipe! Made for Newest 'Zaar Tag April '09.

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
