This is how my grandma made peanut butter sugar cookies ,

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter,
• 1/2 tsp baking powder,
• 1 tsp vanilla extract,
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1. Use mixer to beat the butter and peanut butter until combined, about 30 seconds.

2. Add white & brown sugar , baking soda and baking powder and mix well .

3. Add vanilla & egg and mix well

4. Add flour & mix well. The dough will thicken at this point

5. Place bowl in refridgerator & chill for an hour.

6. PRE-Heat your oven to 350 degrees.

7. Roll 1-inch cookie dough balls and place them 2 to 3 inches apart on cookie sheets.

8. Use a large fork to press the cookies flat. . Most people make a crossed pattern. But it doesn't matter , make what ever pattern you want , be creative , If the dough sticks to the fork , use a little butter on the fork , It will keep the fork from sticking in the cookie dough.

9. Sprinkle a little regular sugar or powdered sugar on top of each cookie . If you want to make your cookies stand out like my grandma did, use the colored sugar crystals.

10. Place the cookie sheet in the oven & Bake for 10 minutes or till edges start to brown.

11. Place the cookies on a cooling rack or on paper towels if you don't have a cooling rack
