Carver published three peanut butter cookie recipes in his bulletin, «How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption». Schenectady Gazette published a peanut butter cookie recipe that directed the baker to add crisscrossed fork marks on the top, the first of its kind, in 1932.
