This recipe is an old family favorite. A tried and true recipe from my Grandpa John.
Currently we are “sheltering at home” during the Coronavirus pandemic. I made a batch of these cookies because they are so good and we all were in need of a little comfort food.
It made 4 dozen cookies.
That same day, we found out our friend cut his finger almost off and had to have emergency surgery to put it all back together. I asked if he would like some cookies and dropped some off on his porch.
Is it weird that we have to ask our neighbors if they would like something we would normally give so freely? Nobody wants anybody else’s germs. Is social distancing going to turn us all into germaphobes? When will we be able to get back to a normal, social, life?
For now, enjoy this yummy Peanut Butter Cookie recipe and maybe you can find someone to share it with.
Much love from my family to yours.
