What if my simple peanut butter cookies are falling apart?

If your cookies are falling apart you may have too much sugar or not enough peanut butter. When measuring the ingredients be sure they are accurate. 

What kind of peanut butter do you use in this recipe?

I would use any peanut butter – i used Sam’s Natural Peanut Butter. But would stay away from natural peanut butters that have to be stirred. Any regular, smooth peanut butter will work.
