Categories     Cookies & Bars

Time 29m

Yield 5 to 6 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. light brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c. creamy peanut butter
3 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt

Steps:

  • Place butter and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl; beat with a stand mixer or electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. While continuing to beat, gradually add brown sugar and granulated sugar; beat until well combined.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated. Add peanut butter and beat until combined.
  • Add flour, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until just combined.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls; place on a cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork dipped in granulated sugar; repeat with the fork turned perpendicular to the first marks to create a cross-hatch pattern.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for about 9 minutes, or until very lightly browned.
  • I like my peanut butter cookies soft, so I watch them closely while baking and take them out of the oven as soon as they are lightly browned.

OLD-FASHIONED PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

My mother insisted that my grandmother write down one recipe for her when Mom got married in 1942: the how to make peanut butter cookies from scratch recipe. That was a real effort because Grandma was a traditional pioneer-type cook who used a little of this or that until it felt right. This treasured recipe is the only one she ever wrote down! -Janet Hall, Clinton, Wisconsin
