Here goes!
Peanut Butter Cookies
1 stick salted butter, room temperature
1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar
1/2 c.white sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. baking soda
1 1/4 c. unbleached all purpose flour
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together the first 4 ingredients. Add the egg and peanut butter and mix well (I did all my mixing by hand; no need for an electric mixer). Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto two greased cookie sheets, 12 cookies per sheet. Press a fork into the top of each cookie in a criss-cross pattern. Bake for 8-10 minutes if you are baking one sheet, and 10-12 minutes if you are baking two at a time. You want to bake these just until they are set. They shouldn't get brown at all. If you over bake them, you will have too-crunchy cookies. When you take them out of the oven, let them sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a cooling rack. Makes 24 cookies.
Gracie, Dexter, and Ripley think that the best thing about these cookies is that they are dog-friendly! ;)
By the way, you're not getting nutritional information for this recipe, because I DO NOT want to know how many calories worth of peanut butter cookies I just ate!
