Peanut Butter-Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

16 Tbsp. (2 sticks or 1 c.) butter, softened
1 c. light brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1 c. peanut butter (either creamy or chunky style)
3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Beat the butter until creamy, then slowly add the brown and granulated sugars, and continue beating until well blended.
Add the eggs and beat until smooth and light, then add the peanut butter and mix well.
Pour the flour into the peanut butter mixture, then sprinkle on the baking soda and salt. Beat until all ingredients are well mixed.
Roll spoonfuls of the dough between the palms of your hands into balls about 3/4-inch in diameter, and place about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press each cookie with the back of a fork, pressing first in one direction then the other, to make a crosshatch design and flatten each cookie to a round, about 1 1/2 inches across and 1/3 inch thick.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown.
