Ah yes, the oft talked about cookies. These were the first cookies I ever baked by myself, and everyone who has ever come into contact with them will testify of their deliciousness. Stephan proposed to me mere minutes after tasting the batter. He was deprived of peanut butter cookies before we married because his dad and his brother are allergic to peanut butter. Now he can have all the peanut butter cookies he wants.
Here's the recipe I use.
Peanut Butter (Chocolate Chip) Cookies
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 1/4 cup white flour (you can use part wheat flour too)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, and I recommend semi-sweet)
Cream the butter, peanut butter, egg, vanilla, and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and gently mix until all ingredients are combined. Dough should be soft, but not sticky. Stir in chocolate chips, if using. Roll into small balls (about 1 inch), roll in sugar, press down gently with a fork, and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Cookies should only be slightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets and remove with a spatula to plates. Makes about 3 dozen.
Enjoy with a tall glass of milk :)
