Peanut Butter Vanilla Cookies

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Gifts, Holiday, Cookies

 Ingredients List

  • 1 cup peanut butter, creamy or chunky
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • coarse salt or sugar, whichever you prefer

 Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then add vanilla directly to it and stir. Add egg mixture to peanut butter mixture and stir until well combined. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place on a prepared cookie sheet. Using the tines of a fork, create a crosshatch pattern, flattening the dough about half the thickness. Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a pinch of coarse salt or sugar, depending on your tastes. Bake for 10 minutes, or until barely golden brown around the edges. Makes 30 cookies.

Notes:

HINT: A good-quality, natural peanut butter adds even richer flavor, but you may need to add more sugar. Taste dough to determine.

HINT: Kick these cookies up another notch by dipping cooled cookies in melted semi-sweet chocolate. Allow to cool completely before serving.
