Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies

Peanut butter cookies are a great option for whole wheat, especially if you have someone in your family opposed to whole wheat (Dan). The pb flavor masks the whole wheat. These cookies are soft and crumbly and oh so delicious. And, if you really want to use white flour, that's ok too.




1 cup butter
1 1/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
