Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, margarine, brown sugar and white sugar. Then, beat in the eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the peanut butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips if desired.

Form dough into walnut sized balls and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheets. Crisscross each cookie with a fork to flatten slightly.

Bake for 10 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven, until just lightly browned. Don’t over bake them—over baked cookies might as well be crackers. Ick!

I am so making those with my Peabutter (a Peanut free alternative to Peanut butter… my friend sends it to me since it’s a Canadian product and I’m in the U.S). They say you can make cookies with it (consistency is like peanut butter and everything, tastes the same as regular… I just developed my Peanut allergy a couple years ago) so I’m curious how they’d taste! Haven’t had a peanut butter cookie in 3+ years!
