Soft Peanut Butter Cookies

Back after a few days off--been a busy week and not much time for cooking, unfortunately.  Anyhow, I'll get straight to the point--these cookies are perhaps the best peanut butter cookies I've ever made/had.  Seriously.  Especially with a glass of milk (don't make them unless you have some on hand lol)!
I only did two things differently from the original below: used butter flavored Crisco instead of butter or margarine (didn't have any sitting out already) and baked them longer than time listed.  Here is link for the original:

Ingredients:

1 c. butter flavored Crisco
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 c. light brown sugar (packed)
1 c. sugar, plus more for coating dough balls
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F.

2. Cream butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and sugar together.

3. Add eggs, one at time, beat well after each addition.

4. Add baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla.  Mix well to incorporate.

5. Mix in flour (depending on your mixer, you may have to add final cup or so by hand).

6. Form dough into 1" balls and roll in sugar to coat.

7. Place coated dough balls on cookie sheet.

8. Use a fork to flatten cookies, making a criss-cross pattern.

9. Bake for 9-10 minutes.

10. After removing cookies from oven, let rest on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.

11. Grab a glass of milk and try not to eat every batch ;)
