Classic Peanut Butter Cookies


Doug is a huge fan of peanut butter so I often make these for him. I make these also when I am trying to stay away from eating to many desserts and these aren't chocolate so I tell myself that I am safe. But I end up kidding myself and eating a lot anyway.

Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Directions:

1. Cream together butter, peanut butter, and sugars. Beat in eggs.
2. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into batter. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
3. Roll into 1 - inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern. Bake in a pre-heated 375 degrees F oven about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Do not over-bake.
