      Title: Mrs Fields Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Cooky
 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 40 servings
 
      2 c  Flour
    1/2 ts Soda
    1/4 ts Salt
  1 1/4 c  Dark brown sugar; packed
  1 1/4 c  Sugar
      1 c  Butter
      3 lg Eggs
      1 c  Creamy peanut butter
      2 ts Vanilla extract
 
    Preheat oven to 300°F. In a medium bowl combine flour, soda and salt. Mix
  well and set aside. In a large bowl blend sugars using an electric mixer
  set at medium speed. Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste, scraping
  the sides of the bowl. Add eggs, peanut butter and vanilla, and mix at
  medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour mixture and mix at low
  speed until just mixed. Do not overmix. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto an
  ungreased cookie sheet, 1 1/2 in apart. With a wet fork gently press a
  crisscross pattern on top of cookies. Bake for 18-22 minutes until cookies
  are slightly brown along edges.

    Transfer cookies immediately to cool surface with a spatula. As a
  variation, add 2 cups coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate bar or 2 cups
  semisweet chocolate chips to the flour mixture, then bake as directed.
