Cookie-palooza

I made cookies for Dylan and Taylor's birthdays. Dylan requested peanut butter cookies, and while this recipe was new to me, I am now a believer. Some even made it to Taylor.

Peanut butter cookies

(thank you, Better Homes and Gardens)

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Granulated sugar

1. In a large mixing bowl beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Beat until combined. Beat in egg, vanilla, and flour.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in additional granulated sugar to coat. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by making crisscross marks with the tines of a fork. Bake in a 375 degree oven 7-9 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
