Sometimes, you just have to bake cookies. I don’t know why the urge came over me, but tonight I got out the butter, sugar, flour, and baked peanut butter cookies, straight from the red-checkered Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook to you. Well, to me, actually.

It seems as if lately, aside from pie crusts, I’ve only tried out new recipes. Experimentation is fun and exciting, but there’s something very satisfying about getting out an old recipe that you had growing up and revisiting it. It’s a distinct bonus when it turns out as delicious as you remember!

Perhaps I’ll have to acquire some spelt and make the all spelt Chocolate Chippers that we developed when Dad was going through his no flour phase. Hmm, it’s hard to beat the classics.
