My favorite peanut butter cookie. Not too peanuty and a nice texture. Makes 20 regular-size or 10 3-inch cookies. Ingredients:
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 large egg |
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°.
2. In large bowl, combine sugars, margarine, peanut butter, vanilla and egg; beat well.
3. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
4. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
5. If you are making the large cookies, it helps to chill the dough for an hour or so at this point, before shaping. It seems to make a firmer cookie-less likely to break. If you aren't concerned about that, you can skip this step.
6. Shape about 1/4 cup dough (for 3-inch cookie) into a ball and place 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (6 per sheet).
7. Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes.
8. Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on wire rack.
