Servings: 36 Cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Cream together the ½ cup butter and ½ cup creamy peanut butter until smooth.
- Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, and beat until fluffy. Stir in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mix together 2 cups all purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Stir into peanut butter mixture. At this point, the dough should have about the same texture as playdough. It shouldn't be sticky, but should come together into a nice dough when pressed together. If it is too dry, stir in another Tablespoon or two of peanut butter until you get a nice pliable texture.
- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for about 15 minutes. If you chill it longer, you will want to let it sit out for a bit to take the chill off. This dough is brittle when it is too cold.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll your dough to about ¼-inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut desired shapes and place on cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes.
- Cool on the cookies sheet for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate and eat!
