Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white or (firmly packed)
1 brown sugar
1 egg
1 bag hershey's kisses, opt'l
Directions
(the brown sugar version is best, IMHO)
Since you like peanut butter and chocolate, here's one for you that
shouldn't challenge your abilities too much. The original recipe for
this came from my sister-in-law (the overworked mother of 5 boys) who
got it from a neighbour when she lived in Alaska. Another version
was posted here a couple of years ago by someone (can't recall who),
and I've posted it several times since, but just in case you missed
it....
Mix the peanut butter, sugar and egg together. Roll into balls the
size of large marbles, place on a cookie sheet, and either flatten
with a fork or flatten by pressing a kiss in the center.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until the edges just start to
brown.
NOTE: This is NOT a misprint. There is NO FLOUR or anything else in
this recipe, just the peanut butter, egg and sugar. It seems as if
it would be a dreadful mess, but the result is a very good cookie.

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on food, most of which still exist in academic collections. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
