Day 1 of Peanut Butter

Classic Peanut Butter Cookies


These are so easy to make and most people already have the ingredients hanging around their kitchen. So, next time you have a sweet tooth, you can whip up a dozen or so of these cookies.


Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup honey (I also used a little maple syrup, too)
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder


Directions
1. Mix together the butter, sugar, and honey in a large bowl. Once mixed well, add the eggs and peanut butter.




2. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Then stir into peanut butter mixture until you can't see any flour.




3. Roll dough into 3-inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Press a fork on top of the cookies, creating a criss-cross pattern. Sprinkle the cookies with some sugar.




4. Place in a 400 degree PREHEATED oven and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.



* They may seem a little dry but I'm still working out the kinks.

Tomorrow, I'm thinking Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Bars...
