Peanut Butter Cookies

1. 1

   Put the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer, and cream it.

2. 2

   Add the two sugars, and continue to beat until well mixed.

3. 3

   Crack the egg into the bowl, add the peanut butter, and beat until smooth.

4. 4

   Toss the flour, salt, and baking powder together on a piece of wax paper, then pick it up and form a spout so you can pour the dry ingredients alternately with the eggpeanut butter mixture into the mixer bowl as it is going.

5. 5

   Mix until blended.

6. 6

   With your hands or with a small scoop, pick up equal-sized pieces of the cookie batter smaller than a golf ball.

7. 7

   Roll them a few at a time in the crumbled sugar cubes and arrange them on buttered or Silpat-lined baking sheets, 2 inches between cookies.

8. 8

   Repeat until you have used up all the batter.

9. 9

   Now, with the tines of a fork laid flat on top of each cookie, make a crisscross pattern, first going one way, then the other.

10. 10

    You may need to flour the fork if your dough gets sticky.

11. 11

    Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 10 minutes, until just lightly browned; you may want to give them another minute, switching the pans around.

12. 12

    Let cool on a cookie rack and store in a cookie jar.
