Peanut Butter Cookies

I have had such bad luck making peanut butter cookies through out my years. I tend to either burn them or somehow put in too much salt or something to make them inedible. Hopefully I don't pass my bad luck onto you with them. (Don't worry, it is not the recipe. I've had others test it out and its a great recipe!!)

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup peanut butter (I prefer smooth but if you like nuts in it, go with crunchy)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1. Pre-heat oven to 375F

2. Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugars. Beat in eggs.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into batter.

4. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.

5. Roll into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets.

6. Flatten each ball with a fork.

7. Bake for about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Do not over-bake.
