This recipe is from a 1999 Gourmet magazine that I've added to. It's a bit different than other PB cookie recipes here. These crispy and peanutty cookies never last long anywhere I've taken them.
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter (regular or reduced fat works, as does creamy or crunchy, do not use other types)
1 cup sugar
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Cream together peanut butter and sugar.
2. Beat in remaining ingredients.
3. Shape into quarter-sized balls. Place on greased cookie sheet and flatten with fork. (They spread.)
4. Bake 10-11 minutes at 350 degrees.
5. Cool 2 minutes before removing to cooling racks.
6. Option: stir in 1/2 cup finely crushed unsalted peanuts to dough before baking. Makes 4 dozen.
