Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies

What you need

1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c unsalted butter @ room temperature
1/2 c creamy peanut butter
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla



0. Preheat oven to 375 F
1. Stir flour, baking soda, salt & set aside.


2. Beat butter for 30 seconds. Add peanut butter and both sugars, beat well. Add egg, vanilla and beat well.

3. Add dry ingredients on low and beat until mixed. Don't pour all the dry ingredients in at once - divide into 2-3 batches, pour & mix and then pour some more, etc. It'll save your arms some trouble.

4. Shape into 1 inch balls. If you like, you can roll these in granualted sugar and you'll get pretty sugar crystals on top of the cookies, but this sugar is additional to the 1/2 c in this recipe.

 

5. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Make criss-crosses with a fork. Don't push too hard or your cookies will spread thin. Use the tip of the fork to get the mark with minimum pressure.

6. Bake @ 375 for 10 minutes. Cool 1 minute before removing from pan and continue to cool on rack - if they last that long.
