Peanut Butter cookies

Sometimes there is a craving for something sweet in our house...oh who am I kidding? We love sweets in our house, and last night when my husband asked what dessert was after dinner, I decided to make peanut butter cookies. Yum!

I'll post the recipe shortly, but here's a picture of the tasty treats.

Oven: 375F

Makes: 36 cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Granulated sugar

Directions:

1. Beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugars, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can, stir in any remaining.

2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in additional sugar to coat. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by making crisscross marks with the tines of a fork.

3. Bake at 375F for 7 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
