• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Cream together butter and sugars until pale and fluffy.

Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in peanut butter. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture and blend in.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and crisscross mark them with a floured fork. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until cookies just start to colour around the edges.
