PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

These are the best PB cookies I have ever made personally. These cookies have been:

begged: my neighbors used to beg them.
borrowed: Abigail borrowed this recipe to make cookies to sell for things she wanted.
stolen: A co-worker at the hospital stole them out of my bag one night!

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
1 cup margarine--softened
2 cups light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 eggs
1 teas. vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teas. baking powder
1 teas. baking soda
1/2 teas. salt
granulated sugar
beat margarine, sugar, and peanut butter until well mixed.
ADD:
eggs, vanilla--beat well until blended
gradually add dry ingredients--mixing well.
Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour
heat oven to 350*
shape into walnut sized balls and roll in granulated sugar
place on lightly greased cookie sheet
flatten with a fork--crisscrossing
bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown
NOTE:
These cookies are very good if you mix them the day
before and let them sit in the frig overnight.
I ALWAYS do this. The dough also keeps
well for a few days in the frig.
I always double this recipe and it works good for that!
ENJOY!!!
