Delicious Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies – Children’s Favourite

When my children were little, I used to do a lot of baking with them and Peanut Butter Cookies were one of the favourites! I used simple recipes that they could get involved in – and produce things that they would enjoy eating! We had a wonderful children’s cookery book with big pictures and simple instructions (the sort that I still like now!) The recipe book was My First Baking Book

These delicious peanut cookies are great for baking with children – but you don’t have to have children to try them – adults like them too!

Recipe To Evoke Memories

A few(!) years have passed since I have baked Peanut Butter Cookies but when my (now grown up) son was home recently I was wondering what to bake. As he was tucking into a peanut butter sandwich it reminded me of the peanut butter cookies we used to make – really quite a long time ago. We used to bake them regularly and then we must have stopped at some point and I wonder why?

Anyway I was excited at the thought of making them again but I really hadn’t bargained for how making them would bring back those early years of motherhood to me. The smell and texture of the dough reminded me of the whole atmosphere and the sights and sounds of those years – toddlerhood to first school days. Amazing what food can evoke! I think it is the effect food has that keeps families reuniting around a table and eating dishes that were traditional in the family

My Mother’s Yorkshire puddings and her sherry trifle send me back to my childhood days as well as pickled eggs! What foods take you on a trip down memory lane?

Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

This recipe is really simple and makes really delicious cookies – for adults and children. It is easy enough for children to have a go – and most children like peanut butter. I guess these would not be allowed in the lunch box at school due to potential of people with peanut allergies, but they are great for an after school snack.
