This was a recipe handed down from her grandmother so take into consideration that peanut butter has changed a LOT!  When I was a child my parents bought peanut butter that separated and had to be stirred up before eating.  I was not a fan of peanut butter as a child for that very reason.  Peanut butter is homogenized now to keep it from separating so there are ingredients that were not there when this recipe was written.  I'm not a fan of crisp cookies so I probably won't make this but I know a lot of people that do like crisp cookies.  I have my grandmother's Tea Cake recipe that she probably got from her grandmother, very early 1900s.  It makes a lot and requires a strong arm to work up but I keep it because it was hers.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-06-06","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenClover"},"reviewBody":"looks like Carol has a little trouble reading titles : \"The Secret Cookie Recipes Grandma (Almost) Wouldn\u2019t Share\" ..Grandma didn't have the leisurely life we all enjoy today.
