Moonie ( and anyone interested of course )....
I finally found my Mom's Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe... Turns out, it was actually where it belonged in one of my recipe programs instead of as a text or scanned file...
1 1/4 C All-purpose Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
1/2 C Butter, or margarine ( high fat content margarine is best, Land O' Lakes 80% Veg. Oil )
3/4 C Peanut Butter, Jif smooth
1/2 C Granulated Sugar
1/2 C Brown Sugar, firmly packed, Golden
1 Lg Egg
1 Tsp Vanilla
1. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
2. Beat together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
3. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, or about 2 to 4 hours.
4. Take tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls with hands. Place about 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Using a dinner fork dipped in water, lightly press cookies, flattening and forming a criss-cross pattern on each cookie. If the fork starts sticking, dip it in water again.
5. Bake at 350° until golden brown, or about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for a minute; transfer to rack to cool completely.
