Mildred's Peanut Butter Cookies

This is from my Grandma's recipe box that Lara and I turned into a book.

1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
1 c. butter (can use shortening or a mix of the two)
2 eggs
1 c. peanut butter
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. baking powder

No other instructions included on the recipe card!

From experience (and deduction) the following instructions can be followed:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Cream the sugar and butter. Add the eggs and peanut butter.
Slowly add the dry ingredients.

Refrigerate for an hour (part of tradition, but I have made them successfully without this step)

Roll into balls. Flatten with a fork. Sprinkle with sugar if you are so inclined.

Bake from 9 - 12 minutes depending on chewy/crispy requirements.

Enjoy!
