Lighter-Than-Air Peanut Butter Cookies

Preheat oven to 325ºF.

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine margarine and sugars. Beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes until thoroughly creamed.
2. While the butter and sugars cream, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Once the butter mixture is creamed, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Add the peanut butter and vanilla to the sugar mixture and mix on medium for 1 minute.
5. Slowly add the flour to the mixer. (Make sure the mixer is on low speed!)
6. When the flour is combined with the wet ingredients, turn the mixer off and remove the paddle attachment.
7. Place tablespoon-sized scoops of batter onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch between the cookies.
8. Bake for 15 minutes.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the pan for 2-3 minutes before removing.

Yields 60 cookies.
