Image via Wikipedia One of my childhood favorites was peanut butter cookies. So it wasn't a hardship to find a way to make them for my kids. Peanut butter tends to be one of those things that you just keep in stock and so are the other ingredients in this recipe. Sometimes simple is just fine - and warm out of the oven is even better.
Peanut Butter Cookies
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
In small bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. In large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in peanut butter until well blended. Slowly stir in dry ingredients about a third at a time until dough forms. Chill 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 and grease or spray cookie sheets.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls and flatten with floured fork, make a quarter turn and flatten again (criss-cross). Bake 10-12 minutes just until golden. Transfer to cool. Makes 6 dozen.
(Note - dough freezes well if you want to make ahead and split the kitchen time.)
