Peanut Butter Chip Chocolate Cookies

Anna | April 27, 2006

My “Favorite Brand Name Recipe Cookbook” by the editors of Consumer Guide, is pretty beat up. I’ve had the book since my early teens and it’s lived with me at over 10 different addresses. The book I have is red. There is also a yellow second edition which in my opinion, isn’t quite as good. [...]
