Specialty Recipe

Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 (16-ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

This is easiest in a KitchenAid or strong mixer. Cream butter and sugars until smooth. Add the eggs, yolk, and vanilla; beat until fluffy. Stir in peanut butter. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate the dough for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

Drop dough in one-inch balls (I use an Italian ice cream scoop). Place on the prepared cookie sheet and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should look dry on top. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to cool completely on a rack. Makes about 4 dozen.

Makes: about 4 dozen
