I would really appreciate a good chewy peanut butter cookie recipe.
Chewy Jumbo Peanut Butter Cookies
2 cups sugar
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 16-ounce jar Chunky Peanut Butter
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups flaked coconut
Heat oven to 350° F. In a very large bowl, beat sugar, brown sugar, butter, and peanut butter in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat until well mixed. Add milk and vanilla; mix well.
Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda; add to peanut butter mixture. Stir until well mixed. Add rolled oats and coconut; mix well.
Drop 1/4 cup dough onto cookie sheets. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand one minute; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire racks.
Makes three dozen jumbo cookies.

Not owning a commercial mixer and lacking the patience to form huge cookies I cut the recpe in half, using 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup shortening; dispensing with milk altogether. The KitchenAid handled this nicely.
Form little balls about 3/4 inch in diameter and then flaten with the tines of a fork. Bake
8 to 12 minutes. Makes about 3 dozen regular cookies.
