Old-Fashioned Peanut Butter Cookies


Makes 36
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350F.

In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluggy. Add the egg, mixing well.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Add to the sugar mixture, mixing. Add vanilla. Drop by teaspoonful onto a baking sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

**I used 1/3 cup whole wheat flour, 2/3 cup oat flour, and 1/3 cup white flour. I also added 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup chocolate chips and 10 tablespoons flax seed (wow! That's a lot!) and they're great!**
