Peanut butter cookies

I haven't posted a recipe in ages. This one is very simple but so good:

1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c butter
1/2 c peanut butter
1 egg
1 1/4 c flour
3/4 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt

Mix sugars, butter, peanut butter and egg. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Roll into 3/4 inch balls, spaced about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Oven at 375 degrees and cook for about 10 minutes.

*I added chocolate chips this time (60% cocoa!) Otherwise, made plain, these are great with jam. Maman also mentions that she tends to add 2 tsps vanilla, sounds good to me.



Yummmmm.
