Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup margarine
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups creamy peanut butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, margarine, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; stir into the peanut butter mixture. Form dough into walnut sized balls and place them 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Dip a fork into flour and criss cross each cookie to flatten slightly.

Step 3

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until just lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
