Jennifer Kendis Anderson, local author and chef, joins us to talk about how she’s written over 35 books and also teaches us a peanut butter cookie recipes and a chocolate fudge recipe.
Jennifer has cerebral palsy, but that definitely hasn’t slowed her down! Jennifer writes anything from crime and drama to children’s books and cookbooks. Jennifer says she is trying to do as much as possible before her condition takes over. She says in about ten years, she may permanently be in a wheelchair.
She shares two recipes from her cookbook with us as well.
Peanut Butter Cookies
1/2 c. Butter
1/2 c. Peanut butter (creamy)
1/2 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Brown sugar
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 egg
1 1/4 c. Flour
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
3/4 tsp. Baking soda
In a small bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl beat together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, sugar, and egg until creamy. Gradually add the ingredients from the small bowl(The flour mixture). Blend well. Roll the dough in 1 1/4 inch balls. Place 3inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Dip a fork in flour (not the flour from the ingredients) mush the fork across the top of cookie pressing it flat. Make a crisscross pattern with the fork on the top of the cookie. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 for 10-12 minutes. For easiest results after mixing dough but before rolling dough refrigerate to harden dough maybe 15 minutes.
