Peanut Butter Cookies
~Splendid Results~
(Modified recipe from The 150 Best American Recipes, cookbook)
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter~tip:natural peanut butter is a little trickier & cookies tend to be a bit crumblier.
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking SODA (not powder)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Bake for 10 minutes.
Use a mixer or food processor and add the peanut butter and sugar. Combine until very creamy, otherwise you will taste the sugar granules in the finished product.
Add the egg, baking soda and salt and mix thoroughly. Drop by teaspoon onto a prepared cookie sheet pan~grease with butter, use parchment paper or use a Silpat. I use a tiny ( 1" diameter) ice cream scoop to insure my cookies are uniform in size. Bake for 10 minutes. Larger sized cookies will take a little longer. Cool thoroughly for a few minutes and remove from cookie sheet. Store in an airtight container. Makes 28 - 2 inch cookies.
Gild the Lily: Melt about 6 ounces of milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate and dip 1/2 of each cookie in the melted chocolate. Cool on a baking rack.
Tip: Go easy on the chocolate or it will overpower the flavor of your cookies.
