One of my favorite past times at Christmas and all the year through is baking," she said. "This recipe is dear to my heart because it is a favorite of my father, who is lovingly referred to as "Papa" by his 8 grandchildren. Although this started as a holiday cookie, it is a wonderful cookie that can be made all year. I have and 8 year old girl, and triplet 5 year old girls, and they all help when we make "Papa's favorites". Everyone has a job to do, and the favorite is putting in the brown sugar. The cookies are a tender, mouth-watering peanut butter and chocolate sensation. Rich and tender, the cookies literally melt in your mouth! Although simple in its ingredients and preparation, take one taste and these cookies are sure to be your favorites too! Try it and I am sure you will agree! Right Papa?"
