Ingredients
-
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation
-
Heat oven to 375\u00b0.
In large bowl, combine sugars, margarine, peanut butter, vanilla and egg; beat well.
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
If you are making the large cookies, it helps to chill the dough for an hour or so at this point, before shaping. It seems to make a firmer cookie--less likely to break. If you aren't concerned about that, you can skip this step.
Shape about 1/4 cup dough (for 3-inch cookie) into a ball and place 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (6 per sheet).
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 13-16 minutes.
Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on wire rack.
