Peanut Butter Cookies
(from "Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book", 1989, pg. 117)
½ c. margarine or butter
½ c. peanut butter
1 ¼ c. all-purpose flour
½ c. sugar
½ c. packed brown sugar or ¼ c. honey
1 egg
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. vanilla
Sugar
In a mixing bowl beat margarine and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add ½ c. of the flour, the sugars, egg, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla. Beat till thoroughly combined. Beat in remaining flour. If necessary, cover and chill dough till easy to handle.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. If desired, roll in additional sugar. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by crisscrossing with the tines of a fork.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 7 to 9 minutes or till bottoms are lightly browned. Cool cookies on a wire rack. Makes about 36.
