Peanut Macaroons (1924)
"This is one of a number of historical recipes I am posting from my cookbook collection. This recipe comes from Magic Chef Cooking, published by the American Stove Company. American Stove was the first company to introduce ovens with thermostatically controlled heat regulators. The Magic Chef brand is now owned by the Maytag subsidiary of Whirlpool. Note: After reading Ambervim's review, I've reduced the baking time to 15 minutes."

This is a simple surprise. They are crunchy to eat and light. As I taste them to describe them I realize they could become quite addictive. It is almost like a candy. I don't bake a batch of cookies all at one time, instead I bake just a few so I always get them fresh and hot. Today I baked them for barely 15 minutes and they were much better. No longer crunch, now they were chewy.
