These Amish peanut butter cookies are a big thick peanut butter cookie. They are just like the ones that you’ll find at Amish bakeries or farmer’s markets.

Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar, brown sugar, and butter (softened to room temperature). Cream together with your mixer.
Next, add in your egg and mix.
Add in the remaining ingredients and mix until everything is well combined.
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper (not wax paper) or grease it well.
Form balls from three tablespoons of dough and place on the baking sheet. Leave room for the cookies to spread (I did six balls per baking sheet).
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving.
