peanut butter cookies. I have been using this recipe for 40 years. I like it because I can make a triple batch and freeze for later quick cookies . I roll the mix into balls, place the balls on a cookie sheet and put it in the freezer. When the balls are frozen I put in freezer bags with a dozen or two balls in each bag. Don't put unfrozen balls into a bag to freeze; they'll stick together. I also use a meat tenderizer (the tool) to mash the balls (faster than a fork).
Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Cream peanut butter and butter.
2. Add sugars; mix well.
3. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
4. Combine flour, baking powder and salt.
5. Add to first mixture; mix well.
6. Form into balls.
7. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with a fork.
8. Bake at 375 degrees F. for about 10 minutes.
9. Remove from sheet and let cool on waxed paper.
