Peanut Butter Nut Cookies.

  Peanut butter Nut Cookies
The last peanut cookie recipe you will ever need.

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp of nutmeg (freshly grated is best)
1 cup of butter
l cup chunky peanut butter
l cup brown sugar
3/4 cup of white granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups (1 1/2 cups before chopping) deluxe mixed nuts, or specialty nuts of your choice

1/4 cup additional white sugar for rolling cookies in before baking.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together the flour, nutmeg, and baking powder, set aside.
In another mixing bowl, or your kitchen Aid mixer, mix together the butter and sugars until smooth and creamy.   Add eggs in one at a time, mixing after each addition. On a low speed, slowly add the flour mixture.  Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls.  Place ball into the 1/4 cup of sugar reserved, and roll them around covering all sides.  Place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart.  Next get a small bowl of water, and a fork.  You are to place the fork in water and press the cookies out flat. Then back into the water with the fork and press the other direction.  Continue with all the cookies the same way.  Right before you bake them, take any remaining sugar and sprinkle a pinch of sugar on the tops.  Bake for 22 minutes until golden brown.  Cool on a rack and enjoy.  These are my favorite peanut butter cookies, been working on them for years, finally totally happy with them.
