1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar or
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Granulated sugar
1. In a large mixing bowl beat the butter and peanut butter
with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for
30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar,
baking soda, and baking powder. Beat till combined,
scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg
and vanilla till combined. Beat in as much of the
flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining
flour. If necessary, cover and chill dough till easy
to handle.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in additional
granulated sugar to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart
on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten by making crisscross
marks with the tines of a fork.
3. Bake in a 375o oven for 7 to 9 minutes or till
bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a
wire rack and let cool.
Makes about 36 cookies.
