MOLASSES COOKIES

"Soft, plump cookies studded with raisins and flavored through with the fresh taste of peanuts."

1/2 cup Peter Pan Smooth or Crunchy Peanut Butter
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins (or chopped dates)

Cream together peanut butter and butter. Add sugar and molasses and cream together until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Mix in dry ingredients, which have been sifted together, and then stir in raisins.

Chill dough slightly. Then drop by teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet.

Bake in moderate oven (375 degrees F) for 10 to 12 minutes.
