Peanut Butter Cookies
1 stick butter (soft) 1 1/4 c flour
1 c light brown sugar 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 c creamy peanut butter 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 egg pinch of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350
Mix butter, sugar until creamy. Add peanut butter, egg, vanilla. Mix until smooth. In a strainer, sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and salt. Sift mixed flour into wet ingredients and mix completely. Roll into balls, flatten with a fork dipped in flour. Sprinkle with white sugar.
Bake 9-11 min
Let cool on wire rack.
Waffles
1 1/2 c flour
3 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
2 tsp sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 c milk
3 Tbsp melted butter
Sift the flour into a bowl with baking powder, salt, and sugar. Beat the eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter together in a second bowl. Add the dry ingredients into the egg mixture and combine.
Spoon the batter into a heated waffle iron. The waffles will be cooked when the steam no longer rises from the waffle iron.
**You can also substitute your prefered baking mix for the dry ingredients. Reduce the eggs to 1 and the milk to 1 cup. I still add the baking powder to the baking mix to give "extra lift" to the waffles.**
