My son loves peanut butter cookies! When he was little and my Mom & Dad came to visit, he asked Grandma one day if she'd make him some "fork cookies". Grandma had the hardest time trying to figure out what he meant. He finally said, "Mom makes cookies and pushes them down with a fork", and that was the clue! Thanks for the memories, girl!
