My New Favorite Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat all purpose flour
1/4 cup flax seed meal
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar into a medium sized bowl.  Add the egg and peanut butter, mix until combined.  In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients and gently mix.  Combine wet and dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.  Form 1 inch balls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet.  Gently press down the dough with your fingers.  With a fork (plastic works best), press a criss-cross pattern into the center of each cookie.  Bake the cookies for 15-17 minutes (depending on how crunchy you want them).  Enjoy! This recipe makes about 2 dozen 2 inch cookies.
