My favorite peanut butter cookie. Not too peanuty and a nice texture. Makes 20 regular-size or 10 3-inch cookies.

Provided by SharleneW

Categories     Dessert

Time 24m

Yield 10 three inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°.
  • In large bowl, combine sugars, margarine, peanut butter, vanilla and egg; beat well.
  • Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
  • Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
  • If you are making the large cookies, it helps to chill the dough for an hour or so at this point, before shaping. It seems to make a firmer cookie--less likely to break. If you aren't concerned about that, you can skip this step.
  • Shape about 1/4 cup dough (for 3-inch cookie) into a ball and place 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (6 per sheet).
  • Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes.
  • Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on wire rack.

1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup peanut butter chips
1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, and brown sugars. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour in thirds and stir until smooth. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons). At this point you can roll them in granulated sugar or you can press each cookie down with the tines of a fork. Either way, bake for 10 minutes, in a nonstick baking pan, rotating the pan halfway through baking time. Cool the cookies on a rack before serving.
