Starbucks
Starbucks, the world-renowned coffeehouse chain, was founded in 1971 in Seattle, Washington, by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl, and Gordon Bowker, initially as a single coffee bean store in Pike Place Market. Named after the first mate in *Moby-Dick*, Starbucks originally focused on selling high-quality beans and coffee equipment. In 1982, Howard Schultz joined the company and, after a trip to Italy, was inspired by the Italian coffee bar culture. He envisioned Starbucks as a place for community and conversation over expertly brewed coffee, which led to Starbucks transforming into a coffeehouse in 1987, when Schultz purchased the brand and began expanding its model.
By the 1990s, Starbucks had exploded in popularity, opening stores nationwide and eventually internationally. Today, Starbucks operates in over 80 countries, with thousands of locations worldwide. Its menu has expanded significantly to include espresso drinks, frappuccinos, teas, and seasonal favorites like the Pumpkin Spice Latte, which has a dedicated following. The food offerings have also grown, with items like pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and protein boxes adding convenience for customers seeking quick bites.
Starbucks’ focus on customer experience, quality coffee, and menu innovation has cemented its status as a global cultural icon. The brand has redefined coffee culture, popularizing personalized coffee orders and offering a “third place” between work and home where people can gather, study, or relax.
Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanut Butter Cookies are a timeless indulgence that marries the nutty richness of peanut butter with the comforting sweetness of a classic cookie. These beloved treats are instantly recognizable by their signature crisscross pattern, pressed into the dough with a fork before baking—a hallmark that began as a practical tip for flattening the dense dough and has since become an iconic symbol of the cookie itself.
The origins of peanut butter cookies trace back to the early 20th century, when peanut butter first gained popularity thanks to innovators like Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. By the 1920s, recipes featuring peanut butter began appearing in American cookbooks, solidifying the cookie’s place in culinary history. The iconic crisscross pattern made its debut in the 1930s, likely in response to a Pillsbury promotional recipe that showcased the technique.
Modern versions of peanut butter cookies celebrate their versatility. They range from chewy to crispy, and some are even elevated with chocolate chunks, sea salt flakes, or caramel swirls. Upscale renditions might feature organic or small-batch peanut butter, gluten-free flours, or the addition of savory elements like miso for a unique twist.
Famous peanut butter cookies include the Reese’s Pieces-studded variety and the indulgent double peanut butter cookie, packed with chips and extra peanut butter drizzle. From bake sales to gourmet bakeries, peanut butter cookies remain a beloved classic, their warm, nutty aroma evoking nostalgia and pure delight with every bite.

Starbucks Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- Granulated Sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, add peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring just until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
- Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- If desired, use a fork to gently press down each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern seen on many Peanut Butter Cookies.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of granulated sugar over the tops.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls
If you can pass by a Cinnabon Shop in the mall without craving one of these — you have more willpower than we do. The smell of these cooking — which seems to spread throughout the entire wing of the mall — must rank as one of the best “ad campaigns” in the history of marketing.
Make these this weekend for the family or save them for a special occasion or trip. We made them on our “morning to do breakfast” on our last trip to the Smokey Mountains with “the Gang” and had our buddies climbing over each other to get to the table.
