    Flourless peanut butter cookies

    Flourless Peanut butter cookies

    Ingredients:
    1 cup peanut butter
    1 egg
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    (plus granulated sugar for rolling dough)

    Mix first 6 ingredients with a mixer, on medium/high.  The dough should be sorta fluffy.  Roll into tablespoon sized balls (yes, it will be sticky, just try your best :)  Roll each ball in sugar.  Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes, until bottoms are lightly brown.










    So I've made these before, but I couldn't remember what the recipe was exactly..I looked it up online, and found a bunch of recipes calling for baking soda, and bunch calling for baking powder, and a bunch more not asking for any leavening at all...hmm
    So Emily and I did an experiment.  One batch with baking powder, one without.  On the pan, the cookies on the right have baking powder; in the other picture, the cookie on the bottom had baking powder.  Definitely go WITH baking powder, the cookies looked better, were softer, and just overall better.
