Annette Funicello's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Author/Submitted by: (Special thanks to Skippy Peanut Butter.) [The Great American Peanut Butter Book, by Larry & Honey Zisman, pg 18; St. Martin's Press, New York, 1985.], MC formatting by bobbi744@sojourn.com
Servings: 36
Categories: Chocolate / Cookies / Desserts / Peanut Butter

Ingredients:
2  cups  Unsifted flour
1  cup  Sugar
1/2  teaspoon  Baking soda
1/4  teaspoon  Salt
1/2  cup  Corn oil margarine, softened
1/2  cup  Skippy creamy or super chunk peanut butter
2    Eggs
1  tablespoon  Water
1  teaspoon  Vanilla
6  pounds  Semisweet chocolate chips, optional
   

Directions:
1. In small bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In large bowl with mixer at low speed beat together margarine, peanut butter, eggs, water, and vanilla just until blended. Add flour mixture, beat until blended. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes. Optional: stir chocolate pieces into batter. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with floured bottom of glass. Bake in 375 F oven 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Store in tightly covered container. Makes about 2-3 dozen.

2. Peanut Butter Oat Cookies: decrease flour to 1 cup, add 1 cup quick oats.

I made these last night to pack for my trip to Reno. Whatever you do, don't use creamy peanut butter! With just 1/2 cup nut butter mixed with 2 cups flour, the nut taste gets kind of lost. I used almond butter; we also used Cantbelieveitsnotbutter for the margarine. Don't round those Tbspfulls too high, as these cookies wind up a bit on the large size. I also forgot about flattening them out; oh well... What I have are chocolate chip cookies (mini-chips), with a faint almond flavor.
