Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe. SEE NOTE.

NOTE: This is a fund raiser for a local animal rescue. The $2.50 is for the recipe only. It is offered on the honour system. I realize anyone anywhere can copy it. BUT. A LOT of effort went into providing what I consider the best. The donation goes to a really good cause and I hope you will consider donating. I explain why here:
I made numerous recipes to come up with this one...the one I consider the best. I have tested and have had others test.... I am told my muffins are the best they ever tasted! Donation will go to Romina of Fuff Fuff Fuff Wild Bird Sanctuary ( see her Instagram here) . Romina has opened a sanctuary just outside Markdale for injured animals ( started with birds.... hopes to expand when she can afford, to all injured wild animals). Payment of the $2.50 is voluntary, but will REALLY help. Romina is struggling to pay for all this herself .For the cost of a cup of coffee you can help save an animal's life.

ALSO. If you are in the Markdale/Flesherton area I ask you to buy your baking supplies from me.... unlike items that can sit on the shelf for months, I always pick up fresh from my wholesalers... and fresh is important for optimum results. AND. You help me support various animal charities. REMEMBER. As explained here, I give a coupon for 100% of your Flourpower purchase, including the $15 shipping towards anything in my main gems and jewelry section!

RECIPE:

Preheat oven to 375

You will need:

310 grams of all purpose flour
230 grams of butter, cut into small chunks and softened, but not melted.
380 grams of peanut butter ( I prefer chunky)
220 grams of brown sugar ( most people use light...I use dark)
150 grams of white sugar
3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 large eggs ( beaten and best if at room temp.)
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
(Few chopped peanuts for top in you want...)

1) In a large bowl, stir butter until smooth then add the sugars, the peanut butter baking soda and salt and mix together well. Then stir in eggs, and vanilla . Then add flour until mixed in. Place dough in fridge for at least an hour, up to a day. When ready to make cookies, remove and allow to warm for about a half hour. Meanwhile, preheat oven.

2) on parchment papered trays, add scoops of dough using scoop or make balls of dough with your hands, leaving 2 inches or more between scoops. Use a fork that has been greased to make pattern on top. Bake for about 10 minutes, until they start to brown at edges. Remove and let cool on tray for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to cooling rack
