Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°.
- In large bowl, combine sugars, margarine, peanut butter, vanilla and egg; beat well.
- Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
- If you are making the large cookies, it helps to chill the dough for an hour or so at this point, before shaping. It seems to make a firmer cookie--less likely to break. If you aren't concerned about that, you can skip this step.
- Shape about 1/4 cup dough (for 3-inch cookie) into a ball and place 4 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet (6 per sheet).
- Bake at 375° for 13-16 minutes.
- Remove from cookie sheet and cool completely on wire rack.

CHEWY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
"I like to add candy bars to cookie dough for a change of pace," writes Christine Beeman of Horseheads, New York. Crushed Clark bars give a boost of peanut butter and chocolate flavor to these flourless peanut butter cookies. "I took them to work and they were a big hit," she notes.

Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality peanut butter. Look for a brand that is made with 100% peanuts and no added oils or sugars.
- To make sure your cookies are chewy, don't overmix the dough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If you want your cookies to be extra chewy, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to rise and spread, resulting in a chewy texture.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them to set and develop their full flavor.
