Mrs Fields Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe
Serves/Makes: 3.5 dozen
Ingredients:
2 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/4 cup Dark brown sugar; packed
1 1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Butter
3 large Eggs
1 cup Creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300*f. In a medium bowl combine flour, soda and salt. Mix well
and set aside. In a large bowl blend sugars using an electric mixer set at
medium speed. Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping the sides of
the bowl. Add eggs, peanut butter and vanilla, and mix at medium speed until
light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed until just mixed.
Do not overmix. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet, 1
1/2 in apart. With a wet fork gently press a crisscross pattern on top of
cookies. Bake for 18-22 minutes until cookies are slightly brown along edges.
Transfer cookies immediately to cool surface with a spatula. As a variation, add
2 cups coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate bar or 2 cups semisweet chocolate
chips to the flour mixture, then bake as directed.
