Hi.......I just mixed the four ingredients listed and there is too much liquid to be able to make balls......was there something left off the list of ingredients ? I cannot roll balls to cook as it is too liquid.

Hey everyone, just made these cookies today and they are delicious! Seriously, I’ve made other PB cookies before that had very few Ingredients ( to half as good as these) so thanks for posting them. I urge y’all to try them easy peasy. During this isolation time it’s good to be in the kitchen baking.
