By á-10254

Ingredients

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large or extra large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• optional: heaping 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
• (I recommend dark or semi-sweet)
• optional: sugar for rolling

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat peanut butter and brown sugar until smooth.  Add egg, vanilla, baking soda, and salt.  Mix for about a minute.  Shape into balls, and if desired roll in sugar.  Flatten with a criss cross pattern with a fork, or simply flatten with the bottom of a glass.  Bake for 8-9 minutes, don’t overbake, and let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.  Makes 20 cookies.
