Skippy Truffle Cookies

I found this recipe in the back of my junk drawer, obviously cut out from a magazine, and I thought the cookies tasted great. It was perfect for me because I try to avoid wheat / gluten. I'm posting the recipe as printed, and it was yummy, but I think next time I will reduce the sugar by at least 1/4 of a cup (maybe more) and add a tsp of vanilla. Added note: I suspect the negative reviewer made these too big. They are very soft for quite a while after coming out of the oven, and I imagine they would never be easy to eat if you made them bigger than they are supposed to be. I use slightly rounded teaspoonfulls of cookie dough and get 2 dozen. Once they cool, they are only a little softer than any normal cookie and are easy to eat. Good luck!

I am taking off a star from my rating- I had to throw out all but the 3 we ate. They deflated to an awful consistency. I'm sorry- had high hopes for these! These are yummy cookies- but they didn't set for me. I ended up with really big and gloppy cookies- they taste great, and are easy to do, but you need two hands and a washcloth to eat them. Also, I only ended up with 11 cookies. I used everything as stated, except my peanut butter was chunky. Thank you for sharing.Reply
