Cookies, please

Someone who is trying to cut out sugar from her diet really shouldn't be baking cookies, but that's what I found myself doing this week. I've been thinking about making peanut butter cookies for about a month now, ever since I bought some organic peanut butter at Costco that I wasn't crazy about. Then one night last week Robbie brought home his daily reading, a book called "May I Please Have a Cookie." He loved it, talked about it every day, and asked for cookies. I knew that once I made them, I'd be the one eating them, and that's what happened. I even put M&Ms in a few especially for Robbie, but he's just not interested.
They're good though. I found the recipe online and pretty much made it as-is (although I highly recommend the M&Ms addition). Some comments said that the recipe didn't have enough flour. I think that all depends on what peanut butter you use. I didn't add extra flour, yet mine were almost too dense. Next time I'll reserve a 1/4 cup of of the total flour until I'm sure I need it mixed in. Otherwise, a winning recipe that I'll use again when the inspiration strikes.
