Today's Recipe
/ Peanut Butter Cookies /
This is a pretty traditional method of making peanut butter cookies.
The simple crisscross after making our dough.
But for those who've never done it, hey! Never a bad time to learn.

Ingredients
1 cup salted butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup peanut butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Materials
Large Bowl
Baking Sheet
Measuring Cup
Measuring Spoons
Fork
Spoon (for mixing)
Spatula
Cooling Rack

Directions
1. Cream together butter, sugar, then peanut butter. Beat in eggs afterward.
2. In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into batter. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes.
Be careful that the dough does not become to firm. Needs to be firm enough to not stick to your hands at all.
3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
4. Prepare a small bowl of sugar. Take a fork and gently press it into the dough, before pressing the fork into your bowl of sugar.
5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and set on ungreased/uncovered baking sheet.
Flatten each ball just enough with the sugar coated fork to make a criss-cross pattern.
Repeat coating with sugar as much as you'd like.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 9-10 minutes. Do not over-bake.
6. Wait for cookies to cool for a minute or so, than transfer over to a cooling rack till completely cooled.

And you're done! If you've never had these.. AND you love peanut butter. Shame on you. Otherwise. ENJOY :D
