I love peanut butter cookies and remember making them at school.
But due to Peanut Allergies in my family I no longer make them and they arr so much better than shop bought ones.

If someone has peanut allergies you could try using Tahini, which is a sesame seed paste.

I used to make peanut butter biscuits when I as a kid. Then later, I made them for my kids.

The bikkies I made most were, chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal & sultana, and ANZAC biscuits.

I just purchased a lot of women's weekly cook books from life line in QLD , and some really good ones at that.
Women's weekly cook books that I didn't know existed and mostly thick hard covered books.
I couldn't believe how cheap they were.

I was also able to buy a book I've had for 40 years which has fallen apart. The step by step women's weekly , a large hard covered book red which was the book I started cooking from .

That’s quite a collection of Women’s Weekly cookbooks! Not to mention all the other cookbooks you have!

I don’t have most of my cookbooks anymore, but couldn’t bring myself to get rid of this cookbook I got for Xmas 1965. I’m trying to send a pic of the old book, but keep getting the message that it’s too large for the server. I’ll work on it but may not get it sent until tomorrow.
