This is from Betty Crocker's website and it makes really good cookies and can be doubled easily. *According to their website: 110 calories per serving/cookie* Cooking time does not include 2 hour chill time

SERVES 8 -10 , 30 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.

Heat oven to 375ºF.

Other note: you can use all butter/margarine to replace the shortening and probably would work vice versa as well.

These were stand-out cookies, to say the least. First, the dough is so light and fluffy but was very easy to work with and formed perfectly shaped cookies. And the cookies were soft and just packed with a peanut butter taste. I followed the recipe as originally written [using 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup shortening]---not 1/2 cup butter, as mentioned in Step #11 could be a possibility. And I thought the cookies were so yummy. I will keep this as my standard Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. Thanks, tomsawyer! Made for 2009 Fall Pick-A-Chef.

These are a stand-by; time tested over and over! I used all butter and chilled for over 6 hours (that was the plan!) My yield was 38 cookies and they are GOOD! Maybe next time, I'll throw some peanut butter chips in, just for fun! Thanks for posting a classic, tomsaywer. Made for ZWT 5.

You can't go wrong with these cookies - there's nothing like a great peanut butter cookie! I added 1/2 cup of peanuts, for a little crunch. You can store the dough in the fridge and make a dozen at a time, if you wish, which is what I did with half the recipe. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5.

My dad loves peanut butter cookies so I made these for a surprise for him! I followed the recipe exactly as written and we all enjoyed them. (Of course we had to test them before giving them to my dad LOL) Made for Zingo ZWT5.
