Apple Peanut Butter Cookies

You know those days when you just need some cookies? That day happens pretty frequently around here. This recipe is from a cookbook.

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups grated apple
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, stirred and measured
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream together butter or margarine, sugars, and peanut butter. All eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir in grated apple. Stir together dry ingredients; stir into shortening and apple mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 10 minutes. Makes 4 dozen cookies.

These weren't bad, but are definitely interesting. They turned out really really soft. In fact they probably should cook for a little longer, or at a higher temperature.
