A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Back to School Party | Main | Caesar Salad »
A couple days ago I was talking to a girl at work, and she told me she had made Peanut Butter Cookies over the weekend. Peanut Butter Cookies -- I had totally forgotten about those smushed, sweet, salty morsels of happiness that I loved as a kid. She had too until recently, but she said they were actually good, so earlier this week I pulled up Epicurious.com and got out a jar of smooth Jif. I decided on a recipe for "Old-Fashioned" Peanut Butter Cookies that originally appeared in Bon Appetit in January of 1998, because I already had all the right ingredients. I mixed everything together, rolled it into balls, and smushed them down with the prongs of a fork, just like I did as a kid. And when they came out of the oven, they were just as good as they were when I was a kid. Maybe they weren't quite as peanutty as I had remembered, but they were soft on the inside, crunchy on the edges, sweet, salty and happy making: definitely something to add back into my repertoire.
