Dear Readers,
This week’s blog post is going to be sweet and simple, just like the recipe I’m sharing with you today. The recipe for these Georgette cookies was passed down to me from the woman that taught me nearly everything I know about baking, my Granny. Ever since I was a little girl, my grandmother always encouraged me to join her in the kitchen and we would constantly experiment with new recipes together. She first showed me how to make these cookies when I was 7 years old, living in Tennessee, and I still love to make them to this day.
Georgettes are my favorite peanut butter cookie because they are the perfect balance between soft, chewy, and crunchy. The Georgette has a light, outer meringue shell but remains chewy and soft on the inside. It truly is the best of both worlds. The other reason why I love these cookies is because they are simple and quick to make. With only 4 ingredients, this cookie is a wonderful, delicate dessert that can be enjoyed at any time of day.
I hope you guys enjoy!
