MEMORIES

Peanut Butter Cookies invoke,
memories of loved folks.

When I was young,
cookie eating was fun.

Our elderly neighbors,
loved to do favors.

They were locally known
by the form of love, they’d shown,

As the Cookie Ladies,
both in their eighties.

They would bake,
cookies and cakes.

The Cookie Ladies would give,
cookies to the kids who lived,

on our street,
what a sweet treat!

My Great Uncle Ken,
was my cookie eating friend.

Once a week on his diet, he would cheat,
together we would eat something sweet.

Around 1979 we discovered Nutter Butters,
our favorite cookie above all others.

Finally, when my son was young,
baking together had begun.

I taught the kitchen rookie,
how to bake a peanut butter cookie.

We had a cooking song.
Feel free to sing a long:

“Cooking with Mommy,
can be lots of fun,
when it is done,
we’ll eat it, YUM-YUM!”

My Peanut Butter Cookie recipe (from the Cookie Ladies)

2 cups of Peanut Butter (16 ounces)

2 cups of sugar

2 eggs

There are only three ingredients! I mix the sugar and eggs first then mix in the peanut butter. I do it by hand with a spatula. I find it easier than using a mixer.

Either scoop the dough or roll it into a ball, place on a nonstick cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork, be sure to cross the fork mark. This is the secret to truly great Peanut Butter Cookies.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then enjoy warm fresh baked cookies.
