the best peanut butter cookies

::Dear Kindred Spirit::

We have been spending most of our time outdoors this week. The little ladybugs that laid dormant in our home are coming out in full force looking for a way to escape to the fresh air.

I sewed up a little bear and he enjoyed the fresh air too. He was a little shy. I enticed him out of hiding with the promise of peanut butter cookies. We shared a cup of coffee before he agreed to pose for a few pictures. A pattern to come soon.



The BEST soft and chewy peanut butter cookies. This is a basic recipe substitute ingredients where you see fit...

2 sticks butter
1 cup peanutbutter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients set aside. Mix butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time. After the eggs are well Incorporated, beat in the vanilla and peanut butter. Add the dry ingredients. Then add in the chocolate chips. Drop by rounded spoon full and bake for 10-12 min. Enjoy!!
