Peanut Butter Cookies
In 1933 my Grandmother, Ethel Orr, sent her favorite cookie recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies to her sister, Florence Southworth, who lived on a farm about 15 miles away. The penny postcard is my treasured possession and all the women in the family bake Peanut Butter Cookies carefully ridged with a wet fork. My Grandmother always wrote in green ink, an expression of her style and individuality. Today we set the oven to 375-400 degrees when we make the cookies, but they always tasted better when Grandmother made them.
