Personal Notes:
Mama said she used the recipe on the jar of Jif, 20 years ago. Since Jif is always in the cupboard at my house, I never wrote it down. Now, I have to assume that this is the recipe she used, or that they changed "her" recipe throughout the years. My absolute favorite, then and now. Same recipe Crisco publishes as "irresistible peanut butter cookie".
