Peanut Butter Cookies

This recipe is for someone who needs “a hug”.  Fabulous.

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars.  Mix in eggs.  Sift together dry ingredients and mix into batter.  Cover bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Roll into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheet.  Flatten balls with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.  Bake on middle level of oven about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown.  Do not overbake.  Remove immediately to cooling racks.
