These peanut butter cookies are truly the best I’ve ever had. Sometimes I add chocolate chips and leave out the sugar-rolling step, which only adds to their awesomeness. I use Smuckers Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. This recipe is super simple, which makes these easy to whip up for a party or late night snack. mmmm….cookie….nomnomnomnom
Peanut Butter Cookies – Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup natural peanut butter
½ cup granulated sugar (extra for rolling)
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla
1 ¼ cups flour
Beat butter and peanut butter in mixer or large bowl. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and baking powder and mix until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour and mix until combined. If dough is too soft, chill for 30 minutes until easy to handle. Shape into 1-inch balls and roll into granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet and flatten with the tines of a fork. Bake at 375 for 8 to 9 minutes.
