Tastes Like Vintage: Unbelievable Peanut Butter Cookies 6

This week’s Tastes Like Vintage post is from  Mrs. A, 2aEmporium

Years ago, a work friend and I were readying some food to take to a company party. My friend was preparing what she called “Unbelievable Peanut Butter Cookies”. These cookies were super easy to make and tasted so yummy!!

For the past 35 years, “Old Unbelievable” has been my favorite cookie to make and my “go to” dessert to take to a party. I have made some fun adaptions to the original recipe from time-to-time. Sometimes while still hot out of the oven, I top them with a Hershey’s Kiss. Peanut Butter AND chocolate! What could be tastier? Or how about putting one cookie in a bowl with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle it with chocolate syrup? Are you seeing a theme here? Now that we have nut allergies in the family, I’ve substituted the peanut butter for SunButter. There are endless possibilities with this simple little recipe.

Unbelievable Peanut Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup Peanut Butter or SunButter
