In talking with someone recently about Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbook,
they made the comment, ‘what makes her qualified to write a cookbook?’
It’s a fair question, since she is a well known actress, is very
talented and has her own singing chops ...and now we find out that she
can cook, too?! Is that really fair?!
I was actually kind of taken aback a little by that question because I believe that anyone who has a passion for anything and the desire to put themselves through all the work that needs to be done to create something all their own, is qualified. Maybe my internal self was a little defensive because as someone who has dreams of someday writing a cookbook, I would hate to hear someone say that about me...in that tone.
So, with sweet tooth calling for something new, I checked out the recipe for the Peanut Butter Cookies in the cookbook. And I am SOOOOOO glad I did. These cookies stay together, but are very moist (for lack of a better word), they have lots of peanut buttery flavor for the peanut butter lovers in your life, and they stay fresh in a sealed cookie jar for close to a week - if they last that long.
