I have to tell you that although writing a cookbook has been a dream of mine it is much more fun in fantasy than reality. I found that to be true with the tea room as well as restoring this old house…so maybe I need to just throw myself on the Mercy of the Lord and beg Him to not let me have anymore fantasies.

Nah…..

These cookies are so good. I love the combination of peanut butter and honey. Yeah..they look just like regular old peanut butter cookies, I know, but wait until you bite into one, right.

They are not in the cookbook. I am not supposed to publish any recipes that I am working on for the cookbook here. ..that has been hard because I am just finished something like 195 of 300 cookie recipes. I am not sure what the market for this book is going to be…besides maybe some sect of humans that follows the teachings of the Cookie Monster.

Anyway..give them a try. The honey helps them stay fresh longer…as if they were going to last more than an hour….

• 4 1/2 cups flour
• 3 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3/4 cup butter

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients
3. Cream together the butter, peanut butter and sugar until very well blended. Add honey and then the eggs, one at a time.
4. Bend in the vanilla. Add dry ingredients and blend well.
5. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar and place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart. Flatten with a fork, first one way then the other.
