This recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies was found in a cookbook that my Aunt made for the family. Each family member contributed their own favorite recipes. Ironically, this was my dad’s contribution.
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Margarine (softened to room temp.)
1/2 Cup Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 and 1/4 Cups of Flour
3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Instructions:
Preheat over to 375 degrees.
Cream together: 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 brown sugar, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Sift together: 1 and 1/4 cups of flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Slowly add flour mix to butter mix. Form dough into 1 inch balls, place on cookie sheet and make a criss cross pattern with fork dipped into some extra sugar. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on cooling rack. Serve with milk, of course!
