Raleigh’s Best Ever Cookies

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006


So I included these cookies in my latest BBM4 package. I got the recipe form a cookbook I received at my bridal shower, it’s a Junior League Cookbook and it has typical southern staples. I wanted to represent more of NC in this package so I thought only the best would do.

This is the first time I have made this cookies, and I re-read the recipe many time because there is no flour in the recipe, only rolled oats. I was really nervous that these would never set and be a big puddle of mush, but they firmed up nicely and created a soft, chewy cookies.

These are by no means low fat cookies, and I didn’t even try to skimp with low fat peanut butter- only the best would do for these cookies. Though this recipe made about 5 dozen cookies, so use it for a bake sale or your Super Bowl party because you don’t want all of these in your house at one time…too dangerous!
