"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This recipe came out of an Eastern Star cookbook from the 70's. It was mom's favorite PB cookie recipe and she made these at the holidays. Love the sandy texture that these have. I have never eaten another PB cookie like this one.

This recipe makes lots of cookies. Can easily half the recipe
