Old Fashion Peanut Putter Cookies (3 dozen)

I know what your saying... "There goes Chez with another cookie recipe. Geez, doesn't this guy eat anything else?" Well the truth is... I LIKE COOKIES, so deal with it! And I am willing to bet that you'll like these cookies too. Super each, chewy and delicious, warm from the oven or straight out of the cookie jar. These beat the pants off any store-bought cookie and contain only the best of ingredients. Don't believe me... well, you'll just have to make these for your self. Now, where is that glass of milk?

  • 1 cup sugar,

  • 1/4 cup additional sugar to top cookies

  • 1 stick butter, at room temperature

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Beat in egg to mixture. Mix in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Stir in salt, baking soda and flour until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll in sugar. Place on baking sheet and flatten with fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
