Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

simple and super delicious, makes 12 pieces

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the margarine and sugar until fluffy. Add the peanut butter. Then add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a bowl. On low speed, add the flour mixture to the sugar-peanut butter mixture. Shape the cookies with a scoop and place them on a baking sheet (4 rows of 3 cookies each). Place the baking sheet in the oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 5-10 minutes. The cookies are done when they begin to brown slightly around the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Tip: Although the cookies will still be very soft and undercooked after 10 minutes, do not bake them any longer, or they will become dry. I’m currently still on an exchange in Canada, so I haven’t been able to try the recipe with German ingredients yet. So don’t be afraid to add a little more flour, sugar, or another ingredient if you think the dough is too runny/sticky or something similar. Here in Canada, however, this recipe works every time, so go for it.
