Peanut Butter-Oatmeal cookies

I cut this recipe out of Woman's Day magazine several years ago. It is a favorite at our house.

Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Cookies

1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granlated sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup each flour and quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup golden rasins (I've never used raisins, blech!)

1. Heat oven to 350. Have cookie sheets ready.
2. In a large bowl with mixer on medium speed, beat butter and peanut butter until creamy. Add sugars, baking powder and baking soda; beat until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended. With mixer on low speed, beat in flour and oats just until well blended. Stir in raisins.
3. Roll level measuring Tbsps dough into 1 1/4-in. balls. Place 1 1/2 in. apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with tines of a fork, making crisscross design.
4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ooh, my family would love this one. Like you I will leave out the raisins! Or maybe I could substitute chocolate chips! :D
