Neighborly Grace
- THE PRESENTATION: Stack these gorgeous, golden cookies in a neat crisscross pyramid on a vintage milk glass pedestal or a footed marble cake stand, garnished with small sprigs of fresh mint or a scattering of whole roasted peanuts around the base.
- THE POUR: A cold tall glass of rich jersey whole milk, a smooth iced chai latte, or a glass of rich, nutty Amontillado sherry or sweet cream liqueur. The rich, nutty notes of the sherry or the creamy sweetness of the liqueur perfectly complement the deep peanut butter flavor.
- THE VIBE: Late-afternoon coastal veranda socials, golden hour gatherings, or sharing sweet stories by the fire under a cozy blanket.
