The old-fashioned taste of these crisp, peanut buttery cookies is irresistible, reports Jessie MacLeod of St. Stephen, New Brunswick. And they're as quick to make as they are to disappear. I often double the recipe. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugars. Add peanut butter, egg and vanilla; beat until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; add to creamed mixture and mix well. For easier shaping, chill the dough for 1 hour. Shape into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each ball by crisscrossing with the tines of a fork dipped in sugar. Bake at 375° for 10-12 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are set. Yield: about 4 dozen.
