Peanut Butter Cookies
Posted in /Cooking/Desserts/Cookies on Saturday, April 01, 2017
Yield: 5 dozen
Ingredients
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Directions
- Cream together margarine, sugar & eggs until fluffy
- Mix in peanut butter
- In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking soda & salt
- Combine flour & butter mixtures, mix until the dough is not to sticky (overmixing will toughen the dough; to much flour makes a dry, tasteless cookie)
- Roll cookies into a round ball, place on the baking tray with parchment paper and press with a fork to flatten slightly. This is also the (almost) universal sign of a peanut butter cookie, so those with allergies stay away from forked cookies!
- Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.
