Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 c butter, beat 2 minutes

ADD:

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c packed brown sugar, beat 2 minutes

ADD:

1/2 c peanut butter

1 large egg, mix together

In a separate bowl, whisk:

1 1/4 c flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp kosher salt (omit if using salted butter)

Stir the dry ingredients into the sugar butter mixture.

CHILL THE DOUGH:  Wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate at least 3 hrs.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Shape the dough into 1 1/4" balls.  Place the balls of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet or on parchment paper.  Flatten in a crisscross pattern with a fork.  It helps to dip the fork in sugar to keep it from sticking to the dough.

Bake about 9-11 minutes or until light brown.  Remove the cookies, let cool 1 minute and then transfer to a rack to cool.

TIP:  for chewier cookies, bake at 300 degrees for 15 minutes!

Add a chocolate kiss for an added treat!!
