Peanut Butter Cookies

If you love Peanut Butter as much as I do (and oh, do I love it!). 

Then you'll die over these Peanut Butter Cookies from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook! 

They're so soft and moist and so ADDICTING! 

My advice is to make sure you put them in a plastic container or they might lose their moist goodness! 

~And as always, serve with a cold glass of milk~

Peanut Butter Cookies

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer or stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. 

2. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl. 

3. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. 

4. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. stir in remaining flour. If necessary, cover and chill dough until easy to handle (about 20 minutes).

5. Preheat over to 375 degrees F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. roll balls in additional granulated sugar to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet (they spread a little). Flatten by making crisscross marks with a fork. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. transfer to a wire rack and let cool.

6. Once cooled, store in an air tight container for up to a week. (But they won't last that long anyway :)

*This post/recipe is dedicated to my Grandma VanWagoner. She is the most beautiful and wonderful grandma in the whole world. I think the reason why I love these cookies so much is because they remind me of her. She always has a cookie jar out on the counter filled with cookies, but the cookies I remember best were her Peanut Butter Cookies. Thank you Grandma for all you've done in your life to get me where I am today!
