Peanut Butter Cookies

Life has been very busy, but my son and I took the opportunity to make some yummy cookies.  Waiting for them to get done was definitely an exercise in patience for him especially since they had to be refrigerated before baking.

Here is the recipe we used -

Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup of butter softened
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1.  Cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar.
2.  Add eggs and beat again.
3.  In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt. baking powder, and baking soda.  Stir to mix.
4.  Add in small amounts to butter mixture and continue beating.
5.  Refrigerate for one hour.
6.  Shape into 1 inch balls and place about 2 inches apart onto a non greased cookie sheet.
7.  Use a fork to make to flatten the cookies making a grid pattern.
8.  Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees Farenheit.
