"Jesse's" Peanut Butter Cookies

So, even though we got this recipe from Kathy, we call these "Jesse's." Even they do! They pretty much only have these when Jesse comes over and they force him to make them. :) They are delicious and a family favorite of ours. ENJOY!

Mix Together Thoroughly:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened (we always use margarine.)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg

Sift together and stir in: (we just stir in)
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Chill dough. (we only do this if we have time to. Usually we stick it in the fridge for however long it takes for the oven to heat up.) Roll into walnut sized balls. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet, 3 inches apart. Flatten with fork dipped in flour, crisscross. Bake until set, not hard at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. (We usually use the pampered chef cookie dough scoop and drop a level scoop instead of making balls. Jesse also adds a tiny bit more peanut butter. He uses a rounded 1/2 cup instead of a level one and he also cooks them for 8-9 minutes depending on how hot the oven is. In our oven 8:45 is the perfect time)
