Perhaps, if you could give a description of the cookie, I could search further.

couldn't you just make them out of any peanut butter cookie recipe???? I make really big peanut butter cookies like that and because of their size they just naturally stay soft in the center and get crispier on the outer edge.

I have that cookie book...here it is!

Peanut Butter Platters

1 c. butter or margarine, softened
1 c. crunch Peanut butter
2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. chopped salted peanuts (optional)
Granulated sugar

In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until creamy; beat in eggs. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and baking powder; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly. Stir in peanuts, if desired. To shape each cookie, spoon dough into a 1/2 c. meaure, level off, and turn out onto a greased baking sheet. Space cookies at least 6 inches apart and 2 1/2 inches from the edge of baking sheet. Lightly grease the bottom of a pie pan, dip in granulated sugar, and use to flatten each cookie into a 5 1/2 inch circle.

Bake in a 350 oven for about 14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let cook on baking sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer to rack and let cool completely. Store airtight. Makes 10 or 11.

Enjoy!

Melissa
