This recipe says it will make 32 cookies but when I used my scoop I only came out with 29. Then came the peanut butter mixture. I could not get a creamy consistency, if anyone has a suggestion for this I would so appreciate the help. I did march on with the mixture that I had and rolled the peanut butter out.
