Ingredients:
(makes about 24 small cookies, or 18 larger cookies)

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Let’s get started:

1. Cream your butter to get started. It should take just a couple of minutes, 2-3.

2. Next you’re going to add your sugar and brown sugar to the mixture. Continue mixing them thoroughly.

3. It’s time to add in the peanut butter, and also the egg. Mix all the ingredients well before the next step.

4. It’s time to add the baking soda, salt and finally the flour. The mixture will start to thicken with the flour added.

5. Pop your dough into the fridge so it can firm up…1 hour should do it

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

On a prepared cookie sheet, you’re going to space out small dough balls. Make sure you allow room for them to spread out when cooking.

Take a fork, and press it into a little dab of flour, then press the fork tines gently into the cookie. Now take your fork, and press it in the other direction, so you create your criss-cross pattern. (the flour just helps to stop it from sticking to the dough)

I usually cooking them for about 12 minutes. Everyone’s oven is a little different, so from about 9-10 minutes, start watching them so that you can adjust timing for your oven.
