Great American Cookie Peanut Butter Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-In
2 cups m&m's milk chocolate candies
2 butterfinger candy bars, coarsely chopped
0.5 (8 ounce) package toffee pieces

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a mixer bowl, cream butter or margarine, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
Gradually beat in your choice of mix-in's until just combined. If you want just peanut butter cookies, just skip this step.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough into remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Shape into balls. Place about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with a fork dipped in the sugar.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are just set and are slightly firm to the touch. Do not over-bake. They will crisp up when cooled.
Cool for one minute on cookie sheets. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
