DeleteChef Owen.. once again you have provided us insights into the background of a wonderful recipe. It is exciting to know that you are the 5th generation chef for this recipe in your family. Nana and I really like Peanut Butter Cookies so we are eager to sample some (if there are any left.. hehe ....
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your special recipe and for the wonderful explanation of preparation... I have one question tonight for you.. did you plan a special presentation for this recipe also..??? your photos show them last on the cooling rack.. so I was not sure since this did not sound like a competition event today.. If you did not do a special presentation then I am really hopeful there is at least one left for Grandpa to taste...
Keep the blogs coming.... and thanks again for the opportunity to see your cooking skills continuing to develop even further.
Sorry, there's no cookies left. Maybe next time! It was late at night when I was cooking these so I had to go to bed while they were cooling.
