I searched and searched, for this recipe, from my school days. I tested, tried, tasted, flopped, and fretted, multiple recipes, until I came up with this.. The Peanut Butter Chews, from school, had just a glaze, with no pb, on the top.. these are so good, though.. (I don’t know the source.. so if these are yours, please email me heidi at with a z dot net.)
