It was super late the other night and i really wanted something sweet...but didnt want to leave my house so BOOM peanut butter cookies to the rescue, i had enough ingredients to make the more "complex" cookies however there is a super easy recipe you can find here
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. Magic Baking Powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup each: packed brown sugar and granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Step 1:
Pre-heat Oven to 350F
Step 2:
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside. beat together the butter, peanut butter and sugars in a larger bowl then the dry ingredients.
Step 3:
Once that is mixed together add the eggs and vanilla, gradually add the flour mixture in about 2-3 additions, beating well between each one. (at this step i added about 1/2 cup more flour because they were really greasy and tasted too peanut buttery, once they were done i regretted adding so much because they were a little too bland, but it's completely up to you.
Step 4:
Drop tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart on a greased or non stick baking sheet. then flatten each with a fork in a criss cross pattern (preference)
Step 5:
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown, i made 12 cookies and ended up saving the other half for a later date (i rolled it out on parchment paper and then i rolled in aluminium foil and tied up the ends)
