1 1/4 c Flour 1/2 c Sugar
3/4 t Baking soda 1/2 c Packed brown sugar
1/4 t Salt 1 ea Egg
1/2 c Margarine (l stick) 1/2 t Vanilla
1/2 c Peanut butter
Stir together flour, soda, and salt. In a mixer bowl beat butter for
30 seconds. Add peanut butter and sugars; beat till fluffy. Add egg
and vanilla; beat well. Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture; beat
till well combined. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in
granulated sugar, if desired. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased
cookie sheet; crisscross with the tines of a fork. Bake at 375 for
9-10 minutes .
Cool about 1 minute before removing to a wire rack.
Makes 48. For an alternative, do not crisscross with a fork. Simply
cook as directed. Upon removing cookies from the oven, place a
chocolate candy Kiss in the center of each cookie, unwrappped of
course.
Press slightly and cool completely. You can wrap cookie dough into
a 1 inch ball around a candy kiss and cook as directed. This gives
you a cookie with a chocolate center. This is also another great
alternative.
