Well, that would help if they would tend to stay intact, but part of the
problem is that the peanut butter, I think, just doesn't hold together as
well as flour does. Margali says she thinks it's a function of the protein
in the peanut butter- I was just wondering if anyone knows of any way to
over come it. These cookies were extremely fragile after I baked them, and,
of course, being shipped didn't help. If I'd have saved all the broken
cookies for me, and just shipped the intact ones, I'd be 10 lbs heavier, and
everyone else would have gotten a cookie apiece ;-)
