Peanut Butter Cookies

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• extra sugar

Instructions:

Beat butter and peanut butter together. Add sugars, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat. Beat in egg and vanilla. Beat in flour. Cover and chill if not yet handleable, about an hour.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar. Place two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork, making the usual criss-cross marking on the unbaked cookies. Bake at 375º F for 7-9 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Variation: Try adding a half cup of chocolate chips for a special treat!
