Peanut Butter Cookies

Here's the peanut butter cookie recipe that Brittanie mentioned in the introduction. Enjoy!


1/2 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cups crunchy peanut butter (this is what the recipe calls for, but I prefer smooth)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
pinch salt


In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add peanut butter, creaming thoroughly. Beat in egg and vanilla. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Blend into creamed mixture. Shape into small balls and place on lightly greased baking sheets. Flatten slightly with a floured fork. Bake in 350 degree oven for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, then remove to racks to cool completely. Makes about 40 cookies.
