Peanut Butter Cookies

By NickiR

When I was a military wife and the men went away on exercise, the women would get together and cook. We would have a week making cookies and choosing the best ones. My cookie recipes are the result of tried and true recipes, judged the best by the children we make them for.

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup margarine
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream together the peanut butter, margarine, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Mix dry ingredients into wet. Mix well.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on cookie sheet and flatten in a criss-cross pattern with a fork.

Bake for 12-15 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
