Peanut Butter Cookies
This is
another recipe given to me by my mother. It is a proven hit
among peanut butter lovers.
Mix very
well:
1 Egg
1 Cup Sugar
It is
important to not over mix the dough when you add the peanut
butter. Blend just until the peanut butter is mixed in. If you
beat the dough too much, the dough will become crumbly and the
baked cookies will fall apart.
Add:
1 Cup Peanut
Butter
Use a one
tablespoon (2-bite) scoop to measure the dough. Place the
scooped dough two inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Flatten the
cookie drops with a dinner fork dipped in sugar. Press the fork
once, rotate the fork 90 degrees to the first mark, and press
again. The crisscross pattern on the top of the cookie not only
makes the cookies look good, but they bake evenly too!
Bake at 350
degrees for 9-10 minutes.
Let the
cookies set until cool to the touch. Use a thin spatula to move
cookies to a cooling rack.
Store in an
airtight container. Use paper towels or parchment to separate
the layers. This is a delicate cookie and will crumble if not
stored properly.

very rich cookies. |
