Peanut Butter Cookies

Posted on 04 April 2012 by Cathy

I learned to bake when I was young because I had a sweet tooth and my mother did not bake. I created this cookie recipe for my great-grandmother Bessie Hudson. She could not wait to start eating them as I was measuring everything out.  She would actually sample one as I would pull them out of the oven. It was always fun waiting for baked good to be cool enough to eat. These cookies were her all time favorite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measure out sugar into a large mixing bowl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add brown sugar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add butter and peanut butter then cream it all together

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the vanilla

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beat in eggs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a separate bowl add flour and baking powder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

baking soda

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add salt then sift all the dry ingredients together

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir the dry ingredients into batter and put into refrigerator for 1 hour


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grab a spoon of dough

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Form into 1 inch balls and put on parchment lined baking sheets

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Flatten each ball with a fork

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make a criss-cross pattern by pressing the other way

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let them cool completely and try not to eat them all in one cookie monster session
