Directions
Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies,When peanut butter cookies are requested in my home, this is the recipe I turn to. It’s one of my favourites!,We didn’t care for these cookies at all. They were overly dry and very crumbly.,I made these cookies and the kids loved them, but I thought they were just not quite sweet enough and a little too cakey. I prefer sweet, chewey peanut butter cookies.

Steps
1
Done

Preheat Oven to 375f; Have Ungreased Shiny Cookie Sheets Ready. |
2

|
in a Large Mixing Bowl, With Electric Mixer, Cream Together the Butter and Sugars; Next, Beat in Egg, Peanut Butter and Vanilla. |
3
Done
|
in a Smaller Bowl, Sift Together Salt, Baking Soda and Flour (i Do This Through a Sieve, not With a Sifter). |
4
Done
|
With a Wooden Spoon, Stir Flour Mixture Into Peanut Butter Mixture Until a Dough Is Formed. |
5
Done
|
If Desired, You Could Stir in About 1/2 Cup (or More) of Chocolate Chips Now; I Usually Don't (even Though I'm a Chocoholic) as I Often Just Want a Pure Peanut Butter Cookie With Nothing Else in It, not Even Peanut Bits. |
6
Done
|
Stash Dough in Fridge While You Clean Up the Dishes; This Step Isn't Absolutely Necessary but the Fridge Slightly Firms Up the Dough, Making It Easier to Work With. |
7
Done
|
Drop by Heaping Teaspoons Onto Cookie Sheets and Press Down, Criss-Cross Style, With a Fork-- the Classic Peanut Butter Cookie Look. |
8
Done
|
If Fork Sticks to Cookies Too Much as You Press Down, Lightly Flour the Fork. |
9
Done
|
Bake in Preheated Oven For 7 to 9 Minutes, or Until Edges Are Slightly Darkened (i Like to Cook These at 7-1/2 Minutes). |
10
Done
|
Do not Worry If They Don't Look Done; Cookies Firm Up as They Cool and If You Want Chewier Cookies It Is Very Important not to Overbake Them. |
