PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES - Mrs. Fields

Category: Cookies

1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 eggs
1 cup softened butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar

Preheat oven to 300. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix together with a wire whisk. In a large bowl, blend the sugars using an electric mixer at medium speed. Add butter and mix until it forms paste. Next, add the eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix at medium speed until the batter becomes light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture and change the mixer to low speed. Continue until just mixed.

Drop by tbsp onto an ungreased cookie sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. With a fork, gently press a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie. Bake for 10-20 minutes until cookies are slightly brown along the edges. Transfer cookies from the pan immediately with a spatula and allow them to cool.
