Tafy's Recipe Thursday
Cookies are our favorite dessert here on the farm. They are easy to grab, eat on the run, and require no untensils to eat. M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies are our favorite, but we have 2 close seconds; Peanut Butter Cookies and Snickerdoodles.
I am going to share the recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies. I can't remember exactly where I found this recipe. I think it was from the Peanut Council of North Carolina. It is a delicious cookie recipe. It is my favorite cookie to dunk in a cup of hot chocolate.
Criss Cross Peanut Butter Cookies
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp. vanilla flavoring
1 egg
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat oven to 350°. Combine butter, peanut butter, the sugars, vanilla flavoring, and eggs; beating until light and fluffy. Combine the dry ingredients and stir. Add dry mixture to butter mixture, blending thoroughly. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place 2 inces apart on a baking sheet. (If the dough is sticky, put it in the frig for 15 to 30 minutes.) Flatten balls with fork tines in a criss cross pattern. Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly brown around the edge of the cookies.
Enjoy these cookies. They are really, really good!
P.S.-There is only one kind of peanut butter we eat in the house and that is JIF. I am slowly trying to change our food stores to healthier options but our peanut butter will not be one I change.
