My food blog is about the foods that I actually make for my family. My schedule is so crazy that I tend to turn meals that are easy for an active family, all while trying to make healthy choices. And of course you will find an occasional not so healthy meals, or treats but like they say..."everything in moderation!"

Peanut Butter Cookies
So as part baking GALS project, I decided I would bake some peanut butter cookies. The reason I decided to do this was because I wanted to bake something different, and try to stay away from the traditional chocolate chip cookie.
I must admit, this was a really easy recipe, and the final product was good. I hope everyone else enjoys them. Like always if you do try this recipe I would love to get your input. Happy baking!
Yields 4 DOZEN COOKIES
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
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
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
To start, cream together butter, peanut butter, and both sugars.
Next beat in eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir into batter. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Once and hour has passed, roll cookie dough into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets.
Flatten each ball with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern.
Bake in a preheated at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown.
Do not over-bake or you will end up having hard dry cookies.
