These cookies are my families "new favorite cookie." I used regular shortening, jumbo multi-grain krispies )chopped a little) and rounded teaspoons, rounded out with the palm of my hands. I did not mash them with a fork. I soon learned that 8 minutes was not enough baking time. 15 min. did the trick. Perhaps 8 min. would be enough if I had mashed them with the fork. My yield was only 1 shy of 4 doz.I will truly make them again. By the way, they were best right out of the oven. The 3 of us (adults) ate 18 before they were cool. Yum!

I made these cookies, and they turned out excellent. I made a second batch and used chocolate flavored peanut butter instead. Everyone loved them!!Bobbijean, North Dakota

I like using crunch peanut butter for the extra texture. My family enjoyed them. Unfortunately, in Ontario, Canada, Elementary schools have banned all peanut products. That includes in childrens' lunches, school rooms, and cafeterias because of the risk of food allergies and the severity of anaphylactic shock that can happen.

These were a hit with the family. Not too sweet but lots of flavor.
