Nope. And I still stand by my original recipe; it is <em>just<\/em> what you need for a crispy cookie.<\/p>\n<p>BUT. I have a new love, and it is a buttery, tender, chocolate covered raisin-studded confection that is pretty darn good. You can ask my husband, who ate a dozen in five minutes. Seriously!<\/p>\n<p>I baked them for 12 minutes, and they were delicious, but just a wee bit fragile. I broke a few when I piled them in the cookie jar. I don&#8217;t know why I even bothered in the first place, though, since they just got hauled back out of there and mauled by The Man. The last batch was left in for an extra minute, and it made all the difference. So, since all ovens are different (and mine happens to be a piece of crap that I don&#8217;t trust at all) go for 12 minutes on your first sheet of cookies and see what you think.<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_9614-300x200.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Peanut Buttery Cookies<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Rowdy Baker<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary summary\">Makes 4-5 dozen rich, tender cookies.<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup butter, softened<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 cup brown sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 cup peanut butter<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 egg<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tablespoon vanilla<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/3 cup buttermilk<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 1\/2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 cups (or more) milk chocolate covered raisins (if you don&#8217;t like raisins, substitute chocolate chips)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Heat oven to 375 F.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Beat together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add the peanut butter, egg, vanilla, and buttermilk and beat well, until fluffy.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add chocolate covered raisins and stir until combined.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Scoop onto ungreased cookie sheets (don&#8217;t flatten!) and bake for 12-13 minutes.
