PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

These were the first cookies I made by my own, and believe me, when I took them out of the oven, I tried one to taste it and they were so good that I ended eating like 10 of them in a row. They are pretty simple and quickly/easy preparation. They are amazing, try them!

8     Tablespoon      butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
1/2  Cup                crunchy peanut butter
Heaping 1/2 Cup      superfine sugar
Heaping 1/2 Cup      brown sugar
1      Egg                lightly beaten
1/2   Teaspoon        vanilla extract
1/2   Cup                all-purpose flour
1/2   Teaspoon        baking soda
1/2   Teaspoon        baking powder
1 1/3 Cups              rolled oats
Pinch of salt

Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C. Grease 3 large baking sheets. Place the butter and peanut butter in a bowl and beat together, then beat in the sugars. Gradually beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the mixture, add the oats and stir until just combined.

Place spoonfuls of the dough on the baking sheets, spaced well apart, and flatten slightly with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 14 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool in the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
