I'm not sure you'd want to add butter to the recipe. The peanut butter I use is Jiff's creamy. Before you start adding more oil/butter... suggest you try making the cookies a bitt flatter. I found my cookies crumbled easier if they were too thick.

The ingredients for the recipe I want to try are:

1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

I'll grind the peanut butter fresh - the machine at the store gives a grind between smooth and chunky that I like. No additives in the resulting peanut butter, no salt either, plus it's less expensive than commercial jarred peanut butter - and organic as well. You can probably do the same thing at home in a food processor.
