Peanut Butter Cookies
So this is the other cookie I decided to bake for my work bake sale. It’s your basic old fashioned peanut butter cookie. My mom used to make them all the time and it always conjures up images of childhood. There’s something about the imprint of the fork tines in the cookie. It just makes the cookie. If there ain’t no fork marks in it…well…it just aint’ a peanut butter cookie.

Thnak you for this as I have lost my Peanut Butter Cookie one that I have been making for some
47 yrs, which was my mum’s. And Kraft, is and always been our family. Some just use three items but remember flour, and even my mum would put 3 tbsp of water in, and roll them in our hands, and press with floured fork.
Thank you

Just made the cookies, and they are much like my mothers, I believe we did not put baking powder into the cookes, and I used a small ice cream scoop and then of course “pressed” them with a floured folk, as is said not a cookie,
peanut butter unless used a fork, press on them.Do you have a nice one for Oatmeal cookies? Husband is a diabetic, and he loves me to bake, BUT must be careful for him
