1918 Peanut Cookies Recipe | Glen And Friends Cooking

1918 Peanut Cookies Recipe Welcome Friends! Welcome back to another Sunday morning and the old cookbook show; today we're going to do the Peanut Cookies Recipe out of the Metropolitan Cookbook. This was published in 1918 by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for their policyholders and there's quite a bit of information in the front of this pamphlet all about what you should eat during a day in order to be healthy and they're
quite interesting because in 1918 the expectation is quite different than it is today in 2019.
