I don't remember where I got this recipe, but it is our favorite peanut butter cookie. They come out of the oven soft, but as they cool they have a little "tooth" to them, but don't turn crunchy until a day or so later. (Depends on how you store them.)

I used to love dipping my PButter cookies in orange Kool-Aid as a child, but now that combination just seems weird to me. Enjoy them with your fav beverage!

How to Make Our Favorite Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Step-by-Step

Cream butter, peanut butter and both sugars in mixing bowl. Add in eggs. Mix well.
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients.
Gradually add flour mixture to butter / sugar / egg mixture and stir or beat until blended together.
Chill one hour in covered bowl.
Scoop out enough dough to make one inch peanut butter dough balls. (I use a small 1/2 inch cookie dough scoop.)
Roll dough balls in white sugar until coated all over.
Place on baking sheet with Silpat mat. Slightly flatten with tines of a fork and make a criss cross pattern on top.
Bake 8-10 minutes, or until cookies just start to turn brown.
