Nutty Peanut Cookies

Wednesday, October 6, 2010



Many years ago—dating back to those good old college days, I chanced upon my then flatmate and up-to-now bestbuddy, preparing several batches of what looked like peanut cookies. Seeing that she wasn't reading any recipe, I thought she has been baking them ever since. But I was wrong. Instead of moist, chewy peanut cookies, what came out were flat, golden brown disks so hard that they could cause a concusion when thrown at someone's unfortunate head. If only my friend had followed this peanut cookie recipe from www.about.com, she wouldn't have thrown so much money and effort making those discs instead of delectable peanut cookies.
