I am definitely a sucker for cookies. Chocolate and peanut butter chip being my favorite. But recently I became in the mood for just peanut butter cookies, and luckily, I had all the ingredients on hand to make them.
I do NOT care for hard cookies, if they are homemade. I like my cookies to be soft, slightly chewy, sweet with a hint of savory, bites. So this recipe is for soft, scrumptious peanut butter cookies that are guaranteed to be addictive. (This recipe makes 2 dozen (24) cookies).
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
- 1 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups flour
Directions:
- Cream butter, peanut butter and sugars together.
- Add egg, beating well.
- Add baking soda, baking powder and vanilla.
- Mix in flour til dough forms, being careful not to overmix
- Roll into balls (about a tablespoon or two) and then roll in sugar (white or brown, your choice). Flatten cookies, using a fork, in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, depending on size of cookies
