OH boy. Yes, I can describe them. They were peanut butter cookies, bar
style, with absolutely no peanuts or chunkiness, just smooth, very
chewy and kid friendly. That is, no topping, no frills. Soft in the
middle, but not gooey, as they still managed to sort of 'soft-bend-
break' at the edges. They were usually warm from the oven. About 3/4
inch thick. I've made lots of peanut butter cookies in my day, but
none taste quite like these. I don't know if it was butter, oil,
shortening, or what that they used but it was amazing. In the winter,
we could get hot chocolate as well. Wowza.
