Today is overcast and cold. Well, cold for the deep south. Today's high is 45. Yesterday the high was 80 degrees. We had a terrible storm. The sirens went off several times. Since today is dreary, I decided to make something of a comfort cookie. This recipe is from a small pamphlet that I got at a thrift store. The title is Party Jewels for Modern Living Using Swift's Jewel Oil. I believe it was published in 1957. The artwork is very 50's-ish. Whoever owned it had labeled the pictures with names of people in their life. A picture of a child's birthday party is labeled with the names of Jenny, Robin Lee and Mary Sue. Personalized notes in cookbooks really excite me. I love to think of the fun times someone must have had. I hope my notes in my cookbooks will make someone smile one day.
Enjoy-
Peanut Butter Balls
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Beat together oil and egg. Stir in sugars and vanilla. Mix in peanut butter. Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Blend into peanut butter mixture. Shape into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place on cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 for about 12 minutes. Store in a loosely covered container to keep cookies crisp.
