Peanut Butter Cookies

There is something so cozy about Peanut Butter Cookies. It has been a long time since I have made them and I was browsing some recipes and found a new one from the Land-O-Lakes web site. Joey loves peanut butter cookies as long as they are not too peanut buttery. This is a very good recipe for that. They are soft and chewy too, which is a major bonus.

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

From Land-0-Lakes

1 c firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 c butter, softened

1/2 c peanut butter

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 c all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Sugar for rolling

Beat brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter on medium speed in a large mixer bowl until well mixed. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture on low speed and beat until combined.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets; flatten balls in a criss-cross pattern with fork dipped in sugar. Bake for 8-10 min. in a preheated 375 degree oven.
