Bust out the peanut butter, because it’s time to celebrate! “Celebrate what?” you may ask. Why, it’s Peanut Butter Cookie Day! Didn’t you know? Ok, I confess: I didn’t know until a few weeks ago, either. But let’s not let that stop us from the gluttonous joy of celebration! Despite my best efforts and all my research tricks, I couldn’t find a verifiable history of the date. It seems Peanut Butter Cookie Day has just always been around, waiting to be noticed when the chocolate chip cookies were all gone.
So enough yakking, let’s get to the cookies! Find your grandma’s peanut butter cookie recipe, or dig up a new favorite and get busy! Too hot to bake? No worries – here’s a quick no-bake version that will have you celebrating in no time.
