Peanut Butter Cookies

I found this recipe in my tattered "More With Less" cookbook by Doris Janzen Longacre years ago and it's a family favorite.  It's one of the few recipes I haven't tinkered with or changed.  It's perfect as is - yummy and healthy!

Cream together:
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar

Add to creamed mixture and beat well:
1 egg
2 tbs. vanilla
6 tbs. water

Add:
1 cup toasted wheat germ
1 1/2 cups nonfat dry milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda

Roll into pingpong sized balls and place on greased cookie sheet.  Flatten with a fork and bake 8-10 minutes at 375 degrees.  Take them out before they are completely done for a chewey cookie.
