I'm looking for the recipe with out baking powder...it's in an older edition.Thanks for the help!Does anyone have the peanut butter cookie recipe from the Betty Crocker, Better Homes and Garden cookbook?
This one has baking soda, but no baking powder. Hope this is what you are looking for.





1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup additional to roll cookies


1 stick butter, at room temperature


1 egg


1 cup smooth peanut butter


1 teaspoon vanilla


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1 1/2 cups flour





Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Beat in egg to mixture. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Stir in salt, baking soda and flour until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in sugar. Place on baking sheet and flatten with fork. Bake for 12-15 minutesDoes anyone have the peanut butter cookie recipe from the Betty Crocker, Better Homes and Garden cookbook?
Those are really two different sources. Betty Crocker is one, Better Homes and Gardens the other.





So far this is the only one I've found without baking powder.





Peanut Blossom Cookies





INGREDIENTS:


8 oz. pkg. milk chocolate kisses


1/2 cup butter, softened


3/4 cup peanut butter


1/3 cup sugar


1/3 cup light brown sugar


1 egg


2 Tbsp. milk


1 tsp. vanilla


1-1/4 cups flour


1 tsp. baking soda


1/4 tsp. salt


more granulated sugar


PREPARATION:


Heat oven to 375 F. Remove wrappers from chocolate. Beat butter and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup sugar and brown sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well.


Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. Cover tightly and chill for 4-8 hours in fridge.


Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate piece into center of each cookie; cookie will crack slightly around edges. Let stand on cookie sheets for 3-4 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 48 cookies





To freeze, shape dough into balls but do not roll in sugar. Place on waxed paper lined cookie sheets and freeze until firm. Pack into hard sided freezer containers; label, and freeze up to 3 months. To bake, roll frozen dough into sugar, then bake as directed, adding 3-6 minutes to the baking time.





Here's one from my own files that always amazes me because it works.
