Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies not only taste wonderful, but the aroma from your oven fills the house with homemade goodness.

½ cup butter, softened

½ cup sugar

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

½ cup peanut butter

1 large egg

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large cookie sheet and set aside. In a large bowl cream the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Add the egg and mix well. In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt together and add to the creamed mixture. Add the vanilla and mix well.

Scoop the cookie dough 1 tablespoon at a time and roll into a ball. Place each cookie on the prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Flatten with a fork or the bottom of a glass. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool.

Makes 2 dozen cookies.
