Classic Peanut Butter Cookies




Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons backing soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Preheat over to 375 degrees. Grease two baking sheets.
2. Beat butter, peanut butter, and sugars until creamy. Beat in eggs.
3. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir into batter until blended. Refrigerate 1 hour (or, if you have a time limit, stick in the freezer for about 8 minutes).
4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork horizontally and then vertically, making a criss-cross pattern.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until cookies begin to brown. Let cool 2 minutes on baking sheet before removing to wire racks to finish cooling.

Comments:
These deliciously comforting cookies can remind one of lazy Sunday afternoons of the past, or warm, buzzing nights. They're buttery and chewy, the perfect combination.
