- 1⁄2 cup peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture in two batches. Place in fridge for 30-60min to make dough a little easier to work with.

- Bake until cookies are golden brown, about 13 minutes.

I like that this is a smaller recipe, and that the dough can be prepared ahead and stashed in the fridge until fresh cookies are wanted. These puffed up nicely and are a pretty cake-like cookie. Not a ton of peanut butter flavor, a bit on the bland side for me as I would have liked more PB in them. Still good, and REALLY yummy warm! Made for PAC Spring '11.
