Peanut Butter Sugar Cookies

Made: October 15, 2012

Ingredients
Peanut Butter Cookies
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg

Sugar Cookies
- 2 3/4 c. flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 c (2 sticks) butter
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla

Directions


Peanut Butter Cookies
- Combine all ingredients until batter is thick and a little crumbly.
- Roll into approx. 48 balls
- Put them on a plate or a cookie sheet and chill in the refrigerator while you do the next steps.

Sugar Cookies
- Combine all ingredients.
- Batter will be thick and hard to stir (you might have to use your hands).
 
- Get your PB balls from the fridge.
- Starting with one ball of sugar cookie dough, tear off a small amount and press it flat in your palm, forming about a 2 inch circle (should cover the flat part of your palm).
- Place a PB ball in the middle and cover it with the sugar cookie. Roll into a ball.
- Roll in sugar.
- Place each ball onto a greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- The balls are definitely going to expand, so make sure you leave enough room.
- Bake at 375°F for 7 minutes.
- Pull the cookie sheet out of the oven and gently tap each one with the bottom of a glass to flatten.
- Let cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

I had a couple issues with the cooking time. I actually cooked mine for about 11-12 minutes. I don't know if I made mine too big or too thick, but either way, they turned out quite delish!
