We all need to take time to celebrate – even the little things. My favorite way to celebrate is to make Peanut Butter Cookies.

Lynda’s Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream together 1 egg, ½ cup margarine, ½ cup peanut butter, ½ cup white sugar, ½ cup brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.

Combine ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon baking soda with 1 cup floor in a separate bowl.  Mix together then add flour mixture to cookie batter.

Now add ½ cup peanut butter chips and ½ cup unsalted peanuts (shelled) to mixture.

Arrange cookie dough in large teaspoons on cookie sheet.  Press flat with fort, sprinkle with sugar and bake until firm (about 12 minutes).  Makes about 2 to 3 dozen cookies depending on size.

Enjoy!
