Title: Mrs Fields Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Cooky
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 40 servings
2 c Flour
1/2 ts Soda
1/4 ts Salt
1 1/4 c Dark brown sugar; packed
1 1/4 c Sugar
1 c Butter
3 lg Eggs
1 c Creamy peanut butter
2 ts Vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 300°F. In a medium bowl combine flour, soda and salt. Mix
well and set aside. In a large bowl blend sugars using an electric mixer
set at medium speed. Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping
the sides of the bowl. Add eggs, peanut butter and vanilla, and mix at
medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture and mix at low
speed until just mixed. Do not overmix. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an
ungreased cookie sheet, 1 1/2 in apart. With a wet fork gently press a
crisscross pattern on top of cookies. Bake for 18-22 minutes until cookies
are slightly brown along edges.
Transfer cookies immediately to cool surface with a spatula. As a
variation, add 2 cups coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate bar or 2 cups
semisweet chocolate chips to the flour mixture, then bake as directed.
