Peanut Butter Softies

1 ½ cups flour      ¾ tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. baking powder      ¼ tsp. salt

½ cup margarine      ½ cup peanut butter

¼ cup brown sugar      3 T. sugar

2 T. corn syrup      1 egg

½ cup peanuts, chopped

Directions: Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In

mixer bowl on medium speed, beat together margarine, sugars, corn syrup, egg, and

peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. On low speed, slowly add

flour mixture until well combined.

Drop by heaping tablespoon onto greased cookie sheet. Flatten cookies with bottom

of a glass that has been dipped in flour (Do not dip in sugar or cookies will crisp as

they bake.) Lightly press finely chopped peanuts onto tops of cookies, if desired.

Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until cookies are set. Because of the small

amount of sugar, these cookies do not brown like others do. Be careful not to over-

bake.

Comment: A great option – add chocolate pieces to mixture for a Reese’s Cup-type

cookie.
