Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • In a large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter and sugars until well blended and smooth and then beat in eggs and vanilla.

  • Use a large cookie - 1/4 cup scoop or drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 6 large cookies per baking sheet lining with parchment paper.
