Peanut Butter Cookies

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 1/4 cup flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Make this cookie using The Creaming Method. Feel free to use chunky or smooth peanut butter. Consider mixing in up to 2 cups of candy coated chocolates, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips or chopped up pieces of candy bars. Yum. You could even substitute some oatmeal for some of the flour--say maybe 1/4 cup or so. Then, you could add some raisins. Before you say, "Oh, gross, Jen!" just hear me out. I figure folks like ants on a log, and that iconic lunchbox snack pairs raisins with peanut butter, so why not? The point is, just don't box yourself in--try something new; you may love it!
