Classic Peanut Butter Cookies – These Are To Chocolate Chips Every Mo Turkeys Are To Eagles

This classic peanut butter cookie recipe has me thinking most something I saw on the history channel a few months ago, most how the bald eagle became our national bird, instead of the wild turkey.

While the majestic eagle was the pop choice, many, including Benjamin Franklin, argued that the lesser attractive turkey was to a greater extent than deserving. Not alone was it genuinely indigenous, merely they too argued it was to a greater extent than courageous, in addition to dissimilar the eagle, was non a lowly scavenger. Of course, nosotros all know how that ane turned out.

Now, I don’t recollect America has an official national cookie designation, merely if it did, I bet yous a Benjamin (see what I did there?) that the ever-popular chocolate bit would crunch out peanut butter cookies for the honor. It would travel eagle vs. turkey all over again.

Sure the chocolate bit is e'er popular, in addition to to a greater extent than visually enticing, merely when yous compare the relative historical significance to American culture, the peanut far eclipses the chocolate chip. I mean, come upward on, is at that topographic point fifty-fifty a “Mr. Chocolate Chip?” I don’t recollect so.

By the way, permit me teach ahead in addition to response the obvious inquiry that’s in all probability on many of your minds correct now… no, I don’t convey anything to a greater extent than of import to worry about. I promise yous compass this peanut butter cookie, America’s cookie, a endeavour soon. Enjoy!
