Classic Peanut Butter Cookies

These are some of the best Pb cookies I have tasted. They are super soft and super yummy! My friend's husband found the recipe on allrecipes.com.

1 c. unsalted butter
1 c. crunchy peanut butter
1 c. white sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
*my friends husband added another 1/2 c. flour, 1/2 c. PB and 1 tsp vanilla which he saw on the website that somebody had done that and they were better*

Cream together butter, peanut butter, and sugars. Beat in eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into batter. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Roll into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork making a crisscross pattern. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 8 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Do not over-bake.

Pumpkin Cookies

So my friend Jennifer makes the BEST pumpkin cookies. I'm so sad that I don't live closer so I could enjoy them! :) Before I left I made sure that I got the recipe. They are SO yummy!!!

2 c. sugar
1 c. oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 c. canned pumpkin
4 c. flour
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
raisins, chocolate chips, nuts (Jennifer just adds chocolate chips and it is dynamite. I've never tasted it with anything else.)

Mix all ingredients together and bake at 350 for 15 mins.

Enjoy - and if you make them make sure you call me over and I will come and help you eat them. :)
