INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup margarine, softened
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

Combine margarine, peanut butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Blend together very well.


Add flour, baking soda and salt with mixer.


Chill dough 15 minutes in the refrigerator. Roll into balls by hand.


Place on sprayed cookie sheet.


Using a fork, press down the balls and create a criss cross pattern.


Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven until edges very lightly browning (about 7 to 10 minutes).


Don't overcook.


We store them in a plastic storage containers, and they stay soft!


NOTE: I changed the pb amount from 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup per suggestions in the review comments.

Yes, I've had Subway PB cookies. I actually worked there all through high school, lol. And yes, VERY similiar. They are really soft and chewy and even more so if you put them in a plastic container. Even two days later they were soft, if not even more soft than the first day. :)

My quest to find the perfect PB cookie continues! Sorry but these cookies just seemed to not have any taste. I did everything to the specifics I dont know if it needs more PB or what. Thanks though.
