You won't believe how oh so simple this cookie is to make and how easy it is to eat if you enjoy peanut butter! This is a good peanut butter cookie with slightly crisp edges and a soft and chewy center. They are pure simplicity with their crisscross design, shiny sugar sprinkled on top, and small cracks running all over.
You can also press a Hershey's Kiss down into the center of each ball of dough and omit the crisscross design to make yummy peanut butter blossoms!
Magical Peanut Butter Cookies: (Paula Deen)
Yield 18 cookies
-1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
-1 1/3 cups sugar
-1 egg
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup of the sugar, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar. Cool slightly before removing from pan.
Peanut butter is my most favorite food in the whole wide world...and cookies are 2nd! :) This look easy and delicious.
