My grandma and I use to make peanut butter cookies that were in one of Mary Beth Roe's cookbooks. I would love to have the recipe to make with my daughter. Is there a way for me to get it?

Thank You,

@Sspaulding I have both of her cookbooks. Do you know which one it was in and the name of the recipe?

If she only published two books, i bet it's the peanut butter cookie recipe in the one book. Hahaha

You can skip the chocolate and when cool frost with a light chocolate buttercream with malt powder in it. If it needs "a little something else" sprinkle sea salt on top.
