How to Make Peabody Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, lightly beat 1 large egg. Add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  3. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, beating until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, beating until the dough is thoroughly blended and stiff.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. The dough will be stiff. This is normal.
  7. Shape the dough into two long rolls (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled dough into 1/4-inch thick cookies. Place on ungreased baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
