Peanut Butter Shortbread Cookies

I had a bit of a melt down making these cookies. You see, as I’ve mentioned before, my oven is just awful. The temperature fluctuates and not burning things is really an arduous task. Especially for cookies. They’re just about the easiest things to ruin. So to make a not so long story really short, I burned the bottom of the first batch of cookies and then the tops of the second batch. Then I cursed my oven and ate about 8 cookies in a row – cause despite being overdone they were still so tasty (can you tell I’m an emotional eater?). I did try to use the prettiest ones for this picture, but take my word for it, these taste way better than they look.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sifted brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup sifted flour

Makes approximately 36-40 cookies.

Cream butter with peanut butter, sugar and egg until light and fluffy. Add flour and mix until smooth. Measure dough in rounded spoonfuls. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
