Peanut Butter cookies have always been a favorite of mine since I was a tyke. The first commercial recipe was published right around WWI. Yes, long before my time, but I remember so well with that delicious aroma coming out of that aqua colored kitchen in my parents mid-century home. It seemed all summer long we had an endless supply of these coming out of the oven.
Traditionally you will see peanut butter cookies with a hashmark made with the tines of a chilled fork that has been impressed into the top of the cookie. The reasoning is to help flatten the dough down while it bakes due to its density, and give to it a pleasing design.
