PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES RECIPE

So a few months ago I tried a recipe for red velvet cake from Sephora. Oh what a bad idea it was. It turned out to be a disaster- the cake was flat and it tasted like clay. The only good part was that it was actually red. So ever since then, I've been trying to find recipes that actually work. This recipe for peanut butter cookies actually works and is quite yummy (I tested it!). And so I would like to share it with you guys!

Peanut Butter Cookies (about an hour)

Ingredients:
1- 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup peanut butter (12 ounces)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (4 ounces)
1-1/2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed (5 ounces)
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C)
2) Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
3) Place peanut butter, butter, and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer with a beater attachment. Beat on medium until light and fluffy. Scrape sides.
4) Beat in eggs, one at a time, on medium speed, scrape sides as needed.
5) Mix in vanilla extract.
6) Pour 1/2 flour mixture into mixing bowl and beat on low until combined. Scrape sides. Pour remaining flour mixture into mixing bowl and beat on low until combined. Scrape sides and beat on medium speed for 20 seconds.
7) Drop by spoonful onto a greased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until they look lightly golden brown.
8) Remove to cooling rack, let sit for 2-3 minutes and then remove the cookies.

**REMEMBER TO BE VERY ACCURATE with your measurements. Never eye a certain amount when it comes to baking, for a little too much of something will ruin the end product.

HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!
