Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut Butter Cookies:

Traditional peanut butter cookies are always a little dry. The oil adaption remedies this.

Combine:

¼ cup and 2 tablespoons oil

½ cup peanut butter

½ cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1 egg

Add:

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix well.

Cover and chill. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on greased baking sheet about 3 inches apart. You can gently flatten the cookies and they will have a crinkly top or you can do the traditional pattern by dipping a fork in flour and making a pressed mark in one direction and then the other.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool for 1 minute and remove.

You can make wonderful variations, use different nut butters, cashew, almond, or hazelnut. Add any chopped nuts you like. Obviously, peanuts are great with peanut
