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.

GIANT PEANUT BUTTER CUP COOKIES
I found this cookie recipe in First magazine many years ago. It is an excellent soft cookie. These large cookies are perfect for bake sales. If you make smaller cookies (1/8 cup dough per cookie), shorten baking time. This dough also makes an excellent plain cookie--without the peanut butter cup.
