The Best Peanut Butter Cookie

To get back into some form of routine I opted to make peanut butter cookies. I haven't made any in a while. This is the best basic peanut butter cookie recipe. The recipe will make up to 5 dozen. I made basically a few more than a dozen because I wanted big fat cakey cookies. If you choose to make monster sized cookies too, then you will need them to bake for a longer time. I added about 7 more minutes. This is the exact recipe from Domino Sugar's site. And to be honest, I always buy Domino Sugar; I love how it's packaged now.

Peanut Butter Drop Cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon - baking powder

1 teaspoon - baking soda

1/4 teaspoon - salt

1 cup - creamy or chunky peanut butter

1/2 cup - butter or margarine, softened

1 cup - firmly packed Domino® Light Brown Sugar

1/2 cup - Domino® Granulated Sugar

2 - eggs

1 teaspoon - vanilla

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. Beat peanut butter, butter and sugars in large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture; beat until well blended. If necessary, refrigerate dough until firm enough to shape into balls.

Shape into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten with fork dipped in sugar, making crisscross pattern.

Bake 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove; cool completely.

Yum! I'm enjoying one now!
