Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

This recipe is a re-post as I switch things over from my website: OurArmyFamily.com. Original date of publication was October 8, 2010. 

This cookie falls into my tried and true category for deployment. It has passed the deployment test…I have personally made this recipes and these cookies have been eaten by soldiers serving overseas.

Ingrediants:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup regular sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 3/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 cups flour

Combine the ingredients in order…mix after the egg…mix again both before and after the flour. Once your dough is combined, chill in the refrigerator long enough for the dough to firm up.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Shape cookie dough into balls that are about 1 inch across. As you place the cookies onto the cookie sheet, remember that they will flatten out…so, leave space between the cookies. Flatten each cookie with a fork- once up & down and once side to side- to make a criss cross pattern.

The cookies take about 10 minutes to bake…I start checking at 8 minutes as every oven is different. The cookies will still look slightly moist on top when done.
