Cookies

Clara’s favorite part of making cookies is tasting everything – each ingredient, the dough, the finished product.  I don’t normally like batter, and don’t eat it because I am one of those people who don’t believe in eating raw eggs, but Nana’s peanut butter cookie recipe is the one exception.  It doesn’t call for eggs and the batter tastes like peanut butter fudge.  We roll the dough into balls, then in granulated sugar, and finally press the balls with a tumbler that has a starburst pattern on the bottom.
