Recipe: Best Peanut Butter Cookies

I’ll be honest …

I was never a huge fan of peanut butter cookies. And then a sweet friend gave me this recipe. These are the peanut butter cookies of your dreams, I tell you. Prepare to become a convert!

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 3 Tbs. milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In large bowl, cream together peanut butter, butter, and sugars until well blended. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. Roll balls in a bit of sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet and press each lightly with fork tines.

Bake 8-10 minutes in preheated oven, or until edges are lightly browned.

Enjoy!
