National Peanut Butter Cookie Day
It's time to dig out Grandma's famous peanut butter cookie recipe, or better yet, find a new favorite to bake in honor of National Peanut Butter Cookie Day!
Peanut butter cookies have been an American favorite since 1916 when George Washington Carver began promoting the peanut and published three peanut butter cookie recipes in his research bulletin entitled "How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption."
During the 1930's when smoother, creamy peanut butter started to be produced, the recipe for peanut butter cookies was perfected into the delicious version that Americans know today. Yum! Enjoy National Peanut Butter Cookie Day!

"Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don’t collect all these tiny successes the big ones don’t really mean anything."
