My curiosity got the better of me after reading the other reviews and seeing such opposite results. And I was really really hungry for a chewy-type cookie, not the traditional crumbly sort. I followed the directions to the letter, up until I was ready to put them on the sheet. The batter was extremely soft, so I thought they would flatten too much. I considered chilling the batter, but remember I was very very hungry! So I gave up on exact science at that point stirred in 1 cup extra flour, dropped them on my air-bake sheet, stamped them with a wet fork (very good trick!) and baked them at 300 (hmm, lower than usual) for 18 minutes. They are chewy and taste good. They are very light-colored for peanut butter cookies, almost anemic looking (due to the slight underbaking to get chewy centers), but again, taste good. Not the best cookie I ever had, but fine and I'm sure they will all disappear.
