Mary's Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe image

This is a great soft peanut butter cookie! My husband's comment was that the peanut butter taste was not so overwhelming as most cookies of this type... very nice.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 c margarine, light
1/2 c peanut butter, creamy
1/2 c sugar (plus additional for rolling cookies in before baking)
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract, pure
1 1/4 c flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • 2. Combine margarine, peanut butter, sugars, egg and vanilla.
  • 3. In a separate bowl sift together dry ingredients and add to wet mixture.
  • 4. Form into small balls, roll in remaining sugar and flatten with a fork... creating a criss-cross design.
  • 5. Bake 10-12 minutes until practically perfect.
  • 6. Note: You can substitute butter for the margarine, but I actually prefer the reduced-fat margarine in this recipe. Also, be careful not to over-bake. These cookies are best when they're a little under-done.
