Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees

1. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.

2. Cream the butter and sugars together. Add the peanut butter, honey, eggs and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Add the dry ingredients and beat in. Add the peanuts.

3. Spoon the batter onto greased cookie sheets about two inches apart. With the back of the spoon, flatten the dough to 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in thickness. Bake them for nine to ten minutes or until done. (Do not over bake.) Let them sit on the baking sheet for one minute and then move them to wire racks to cool.

Notes: This is a very good cookie. The honey was added as a hygroscopic agent to help keep the cookies moist.
