Roberto’s father wanted to please his son. But, wasn’t a skilled cook, nor did he care for the mess — or large ingredient list — that came hand-in-hand with flour-based cookies. So, instead, he did some tinkering and arrived at the idea of combining peanut butter with ground almond instead of flour to streamline the process — and keep things a cleaner. This recipe for three-ingredient peanut butter cookies was the result. They were a hit, and have been a family staple ever since. While, yes, the recipe does have an optional fourth ingredient. But there’s something a bit more satisfying about saying three, isn’t there? “The Dad Special” is a celebration of food, family, and fathers who cook. Featuring chefs, celebrities, and kitchen crazy dads, this collection highlights meals — from family secrets to quick kid delights — meant to honor time spent at the table.
