(See here for original)Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
* 1/2 cup peanut butter
* 1 egg
* 1 1/4 cup flour
* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
Method
1 Cream the butter for 2 minutes. Add the sugars, cream for 2 more minutes. Mix in the peanut butter and egg. Mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir into the sugar butter mixture.
2 Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
3 Preheat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with a fork. Bake until light brown, 9 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.
Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
For chewier cookies, bake at 300°F for 15 minutes.
That one is similar to my own (found here, with a few others), which I actually just put in the fridge to chill a few minutes ago. When making regular pb cookies for the holidays (as opposed to peanut butter blossoms), I sprinkle red & green decorating sugar on them after stamping the crisscross pattern in before baking.
