#2 Peanut Butter Cookies


1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Peanut butter
1/2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cup flour
Sugar

1. Preheat oven to 375 deg. Combine butter and peanut butter. Beat with an electric mixer on med to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Beat until combinded, scraing side of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour, If necessary, cover and chill about 1 hour or until dough is easy to handle.

2. Place additional sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in sugar to coat. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Using a fork, flatten balls by making crisscross marks on top.

3. Bake in preheated over for 7 to 9 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; cool.

For lots of crunch in these cookies, use extra-crunchy peanut butter instead of the smooth variety (this is what I did)
