My Dad sent me a cookbook called “The Cook’s Encyclopedia of Cookies”. It’s full of fantastic recipes, including classics like this peanut butter cookie recipe. Delicious with a cold glass of milk!
Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
Directions:
- Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- With an electric mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla and gradually beat into butter mixture.
- Stir in peanut butter and blend thoroughly.
- Stir in dry ingredients.
