Who can resist the classic combination of peanut butter and cookies? Kids love these treats and adults love them too, which is why the peanut butter cookie is one of America’s favorites. While a lot of people choose to buy frozen cookie dough, creating your own peanut butter cookies from scratch is a simple thing to do, but it will delight in days of pleasure (if they last that long!) for your whole family.
You Will Need: 1 ¼ flour; pinch of salt; 1 tsp. baking powder; ½ cup butter; ½ cup peanut butter; ½ granulated sugar; ½ cup brown sugar; ½ tsp. vanilla; 1 egg.
To Make: Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together in one bowl. Then, cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars in an electric mixer. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Combine the sifted flour mixture, and mix until smooth.
To Bake: place even spoonfuls of batter onto a greased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie with a fork, and bake for 12-15 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Allow cookies to cook completely before serving.
There you have it – warm, fresh, delicious peanut butter cookies to savor the whole week through. If you have a bit of extra energy, you can use your fork to press designs into the top of the cookies prior to baking, but that is up to you. Also, you can use chunky peanut butter if you like the taste, but the cookie will be a bit more crumbly if you do. Now, wasn’t that easy?
