1 1/4 cups of flour
3/4 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of margarine (l stick)
1/2 cup of peanut butter
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla |
|
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 375ºF. or 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, wrapper removed. 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. |
