The Best Peanut Butter Cookies

Okay, I'm on a peanut butter kick. These are the best peanut butter cookies. I have used this recipe for over 15 years now. I prefer to use creamy peanut butter when I make them, the crunchy kind can be used, though.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Cream together;
1/2 cp. butter, softened
1/2 cp. peanut butter
1/2 cp. sugar
1/2 cp. brown sugar
1 large egg

Sift together and add to creamed mixture;
1 1/4 cps. all purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder

Mix all together and chill for an hour. Roll dough into walnut size balls. Place 3" apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Flatten with a fork, dipped in flour, in criss-cross manner.
Bake for 10 minutes in preheated 375 oven.
Make 3 Dozen.
