Tuesdays with Dorie: Peanut Butter Crisscrosses

It's Tuesday again, my friends. Which means another wonderful baking delight straight from my favorite baking cookbook, Baking from My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan.

This week Jasmine of Jasmine Cuisine selected Peanut Butter Crisscrosses on page 78.

I think Peanut Butter Crisscrosses were one of the first cookie I remember baking with my mom. I remember she would let me press the crisscrosses with a fork and I loved it. I loved these cookies, I think Dorie's recipe is extra delicious. I love that it includes peanut butter and chopped salted peanuts for that extra crunch.



I guess before I go any farther I better confess. I didn't make these myself. Adam did. He loves all things peanut butter and as you should know by now, He is the official cookie maker in our home. So don't hate. I really didn't feel like making them again. (Don't think I wasn't tempted, it's just been a busy month so far.)



If you love cookies and you love peanut butter give this recipe a try. Heck, try it even if you have your own PB crisscross recipe. We even did some with Sugar in the Raw, which I think added soem awesome texture. Make sure you check out Jasmine's blog for the recipe and visit the 'Leave your Link' post on the TWD group site.

In related and oh-so-freaking-exciting-news Dorie's new cookbook, Around My French Table, is out! I am anxiously awaiting for my copy to arrive! And the best part, Laurie is putting together another weekly baking group! I will be joining. It's called French Friday's with Dorie and it begins October 1.
