But he has an excellent peanut butter cookie recipe!

Congressman Ron Paul's political observations may be controversial, but everyone loves cookies! This is the best-ever peanut butter cookie I've ever made.

Mamaw's Peanut Butter Cookies

1 stick butter (I subtract 2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup chopped nuts
1 egg
1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine in order given. Roll in 1 inch balls then in sugar. Place on cookie sheet and press down with fork to make an imprint on the cookies. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

This is from "The Ron Paul Family Cookbook," 16 pages of family and Texas-style yummies! It was self-published and mailed to constituents several years ago. You may want to see if they still have copies or have republished. The telephone number inside was 1/800-RON-PAUL.
