Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

·         1 cup peanut butter

·         1 cup white sugar

·         1 egg

Directions:

1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2.       Combine the peanut butter, white sugar and egg. Mix until smooth.

3.       Use a spoon to scoops up even amounts of dough and roll lightly into a ball, then place on cookie sheet.

4.       Use a fork to lightly push dough ball about halfway to flat turn the fork and push the dough ball again, (so you have the classic criss-cross top on the cookie).  

5.       Bake at 350 for 6 to 8 minutes. Do not over-bake! It's easy to do with these. 

I've been making these for years with a lot of compliments.  

*To make the Peanut Butter and Jelly cookies, instead of putting the criss-cross on top of the cookie, roll the dough, place on the sheet then using your fingertip make a "bowl" in the center of the ball, (careful not to press all the way through).  Fill the bowl with jam of your choosing and bake as per regular instructions.

**To make the Peanut Butter Chocolate Drop cookie, place the dough ball on the sheet and push a chocolate chip (for a light chocolate touch) or a Hershey's Kiss (for more of a chocolate punch)  into the center of the ball and bake as per instructions above.
