I know, these cookies have nothing to do with Japan - just need a remembrance of home. Peanut butter is not very popular in here, in fact, it is hard to find in supermarkets. There is something called 'peanuts cream' here, but it is mostly butter/shortening and some peanuts. I have never seen peanut butter cookies in the store so I need to make my own.

Ingredients:
312 grams flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
200 grams peanut butter
150 grams butter
75 grams granular sugar
75 grams brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt.
2. Soften the butter with a whisk and add in the eggs. sugar, peanut butter & vanilla - one at a time. Add in the flour mixture - mix together with a spatula.
3. If you have time, let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
4. Use a spoon to divide dough into about 25 gram pieces. Roll into a ball first and then flatten with a fork to make a nice design.
5. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes.
These cookies don't spread too much so no need to worry. They puff up very nicely during baking.
