My
Favorite Foods

Some of these recipes are extremely easy to
make, but some of them are fairly difficult in that they take quite a bit of time and
preparation. I love all these foods, and really enjoy cooking, some of these recipes were
given to me by my family and friends, and some of them are recipes that I came up with on
my own. I hope that you will enjoy cooking and eating this food as much as I do.

| Peanut Butter
Cookies

1 inch in diameter). Roll balls in extra sugar. Place on baking sheet, flatten with fork.

- Notes - Placing cookies on a cooling rack for cooling, this
will keep the bottoms of them from over cooking.

- Instead of using a fork to flatten the cookies, use milk
chocolate star candies.
