Recipe Introduction

These are the very best! You'll never use any other peanut butter cookie recipe....trust me!

List of Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter or crunchy peanut butter, your choice
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3 3/4 cups flour
1-2 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup nuts (optional)




Recipe

1. Cream peanut butter and margarine, add sugars and mix well.

2. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until creamy.

3. In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients and add to creamed mixture. Mix well.

4. Chill for one hour-I usually skip this step and chill between batches.

5. Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets- DO NOT FLATTEN.

6. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes.

7. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer onto newspaper- the newspaper soaks up extra grease so the cookies don't become crumbly, little trick I learned from my MIL- this is also optional.

YIELD: 80-100 Cookies
