If you want pancake cookies that fall apart when you try to eat them, this is the recipe for you. I think there’s something wrong with the ingredients. I added for flour to the second cookie sheet portions, and they came out better. I think the ingredients should be at least 2 1/2 cups of flour. Possibly another egg would help to hold the cookie together, too. Sorry.

I am the mother of two girls and the grandmother of one girl, all of whom are very beautiful!! I love cooking and have been in the kitchen for most of my life. Spent the first few years watching, helping and learning from my dad and his mother, both were very talented cooks. Wish I'd paid more attention, because my Daddy made chili to die for, and my southern Grandma made the best biscuits in the world...and something with tomatoes and breakfast sausage links over rice....Oh geez, I wish I could remember! I started baking Christmas cookies a few years back because I didn't know much about baking and wanted to be a well rounded cook (and let me tell you the cookies can make one well rounded, lol). Now, if I were to stop, I think I would be lynched, lol. My favorite person to cook for is my oldest daughter because she is willing to try ANYTHING!!!!
