Baking For My Sis

I felt like baking something but I did not want it lingering around the house so I made a little deal with my sister. I told her I would bake her something as long as she stopped by and picked it up once she got off of work, and being the wonderfully nice sister that I am I even let her pick what she wanted. Her request was really soft peanut butter cookies. My recipe search ended with me picking a recipe from my favorite recipe swapping site, Bakespace.


These cookies were very quick to mix together and take minimal ingredients. They are not the famous 4 ingredient peanut butter cookies that I have heard so many raves about but all the ingredients that this recipe called for are staples in my pantry. I did not try any of these so I can't vouch for how good they are but my sister said they were really good. :)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3. Place on sprayed cookie sheet. Using a fork, press down the balls and create a criss cross pattern. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven until edges very lightly browning (about 7 to 10 minutes). Don't overcook.
