Tonight I made Peanut Butter cookies from page 56 of the All American section. I happen to love peanut butter cookies, in fact, I love anything with peanut butter in it. I even love savory dishes with peanut butter, like Thai noodles in peanut sauce – mmmm-I have got to make that again one of these days!
Strangely, I’ve met a lot of people who don’t like peanut butter cookies. I can’t say I understand, but it’s okay, because it leaves more for the rest of us 😉
Actually Martha’s cookie recipes were my earliest experience of her culinary expertise. You can’t go wrong with them — the woman is a cookie genius! So many people are scared of baking, because it’s considered an exact science with little room for error. If you’re one of those people, I suggest starting with cookies, because with perseverance you can and will master the art of cookie making!
If you don’t want to invest in a cookbook, go to Martha’s website and find a cookie recipe that’s right for you and give it a try. After all, in this economy, there are better ways to spend your hard-earned dough than wasting it on mediocre pre-made cookie dough. And for just a little more time and effort, your homemade cookies will taste so much better!
