Peanut Butter Creams

My nephew Justin sent me a some peanut butter creams today. Bless his heart, he knows they are my favorite!

Now these are a cookie with some history! The original recipe was in the cookbook that my class made years ago in third grade. Each child brought in a recipe and we compiled them into a special Mother’s Day cookbook for our moms. I think we even had them in for tea.

A kid named Jimmy brought this recipe. My mom still has the mimeographed cookbook with the original recipe handwritten in Jimmy’s 3rd grade handwriting. It also included my recipe for Spamburgers, at least my taste buds have matured since then.

Anyway…the recipe had stood the test of time and has become a family staple. Justin is required to make them for every family gathering or else he can’t eat. (Well not really, but we still give him grief!)

Fast, simple and really yummy, these are a perfect treat for those who love chocolate and peanut butter (like me!)

Thanks Jimmy and Justin!
