Notes: There is a note "May have to mash with a fork." I think it means that if these cookies don't spread out like chocolate chip cookies do when baked that you have to press them with a fork like you do with peanut butter cookies before baking. So, try a few with the balls of dough to see if they spread when baked. If they don't spread, put a batch in by pressing the dough down with a fork before baked. I remember Grandma Lattin had these in the house a lot and they are moist and delicious.
