Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This… |

Creole Pralines by Amos MillerBetter than a cookie (sorry bakers, but this is a Creole group) and with the true taste of New Orleans, Creole Pralines are one of the signature treats in the Big Easy!

Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Crisscross Cookies by Salad FoodiePeanut butter cookie recipes abound, but none of them came close to rekindling memories of the favorite from my youth - until I came across this one in an Old Farmer's Almanac.

Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies by Salad FoodieA different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly. |
