Peanut Butter Melts

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F., rack in the middle position.
2. 2
   Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe mixing bowl to melt it. Add the sugar, vanilla, and molasses. Stir until it's blended, then add the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. 3
   Measure out the peanut butter. (I spray the inside of my measuring cup with Pam so it won't stick.) Add it to the bowl and mix it inches Pour in the beaten eggs and stir. Then add the flour, and mix until all the ingredients are throughly blended.
4. 4
   Form the dough into walnut-sized balls and arrange them on a greased cookie sheet, 12 to a standard sheet. (If the dough is too sticky to form into balls, chill it for a few minutes and try again.).
5. 5
   Flatten the balls with a fork in a crisscross pattern. (If the fork sticks, either spray it with Pam or dip it in flour.).
6. 6
   Bake at 375 degrees F. for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Cool on the cook sheet for 2 minutes, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling.
