Is anyone else having trouble making cookies? I use an old circa 1950 Betty Crocker Cookbook for my cookie recipes. Lately, the cookies mostly peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and chocolate chip are way too dry when I follow the recipes I used for the past fifty years. The dough doesn’t pull together when I follow the recipes to the letter. The dough is crumbly and doesn’t come together it doesn’t form a ball. I can fix the problem by adding a few more ounces of shorting.. But don’t know what’s happening, why recipes that have worked for almost a lifetime suddenly fail.
