Not that I'm trying to say I'm a gourmet or anything and that people flock to me for my cooking and recipes, but when people like one of my recipes, I seldom hand it out. Sometimes. But not a lot. Like, these molasses cookies I make. I've had several people ask for it, one person repeatedly. I just keep putting them off.
They're not even my recipes. The molasses cookies are published in a cookbook.
So it's kind of horrible of me, because I've only ever really changed and made one recipe mine. All the others have been given to me or pilfered from a higher source.
See? I'm a recipe hoarder.
Anyway, I publicly declared (in a church, no less) that I would share this one. I kind of feel bound.
I got this one from my baby sister. It's like a peanut butter cup that's actually a cookie. Num num, as my children call it.

Oh, these cookies. They make my heart go pitter pat.
Peanut butter and chocolate. Few better marriages have ever been made (though, as your next post seems to evidence, yours is one).
