Annette Funicello's Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 cups unsifted flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup corn oil margarine, softened (1 stick)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or chunky peanut butter (she uses Skippy)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

In small bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In large bowl with mixer at low speed beat together margarine, peanut butter, eggs, water, and vanilla just until blended. Add flour mixture, beat until blended. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes. Optional: stir chocolate pieces into batter. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with floured bottom of glass. Bake in 375 F oven 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Store in tightly covered container.

I just printed this and I'm going to make'em this afternoon. They sound perfect for a cold, overcast day that we are having here in NY today. It's hard to believe its spring.
