Hello, Phaedrus. I am looking for a peanut butter cookie recipe used in the 
mid-70's in the ABC Unified School District in L.A. County. The thing about 
them (other than the size!) was that they were chewy, not dry and sandy. 
When you went to cut them in half, they bent before breaking, and the bottom, 
if I remember right, seemed somewhat caramelized. I long for these cookies. 
I imagine the original lunch ladies that made these cookies are no longer with 
us, but perhaps they passed it down to a family member.....
Thank you for what you do!

Hello Cynthia,

I had no success looking for a peanut butter cookie from the ABC Unified School District in L.A. County as such. Which school in the district did you attend? It might be found that way.

I've had no success with the LAUSD peanut butter cookie as well.
