Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup butter (75gms)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth) 265gms
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1
I have never made anything from it, but have read bits and pieces and use it more as a reference. I am however rather emotionaly attached to it. It makes me feel like I have a little piece of my mom on my bookshelf.
I looked the recipe up in my copy and found it had been ‘starred’ by my mom, which created added excitement.
This is what you need to make:
how to make:
pre heat the oven to 180 C (375 F)
beat the butter and sugar together until creamy
add the egg and beat some more
add the peanut butter and vanilla extract and beat
sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add to the batter
mix briefly until the dough comes together
roll the dough into small balls about 1 inch (3 cm’s), place on a lined baking sheet and press down with a fork (in one direction as I did, or in two directions to get a criss cross effect)
These really are just perfect peanut butter cookies and terribly easy to make. Lori you will love! Next time I may add some extra chopped up roasted peanuts to give a bit more crunch.
add one
I bet these cookies can kick start an addiction!! They look sooooo buttery!!
Sam, all the signs were that you were meant to make these cookies. I love it when life just hands us must-do things like that. it’s like you channelled a bit of your mom through this.maybe a sign you are on the right path too? ps. the cookies look delicious and i agree, your pix are looking so great! xxx
They taste even better when you add 1/2 a cup of mashed banana with some cinnamon or all spice.
