PB - The Best Peanut Butter Cookies, I Swear

Source of Recipe

One Bite Won't Kill You" by Anne Hodgman


List of Ingredients

2 cups creamy Skippy's peanut butter (regular, not reduced fat)
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla




Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 cookie sheets or cover with parchment paper.

2. Beat peanut butter and sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer until fluffy.

Beat in eggs and then baking soda, salt and vanilla.
3. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.

With tines of a fork, press cross hatches into the balls to flatten them.

4. Bake cookies, one sheet at a time, in middle of oven, for 10 minutes or until they are puffy and golden brown, or about 12 minutes for crisp cookies. (I like to make them crisp.) Let sit on cookie sheets for a couple of minutes; then transfer to wire rack to cool.


Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
