Peanut Butter Cookies

I don't know where or when I found this recipe for peanut butter cookies, but I have been using it for many years.  It is simple and the cookies turn out so great.  You can add some chocolate chips, chopped peanuts or put a huge Hershey kiss on top of them. Or keep them just simple, which is the way I like them best. 

1/2 cup butter (not margarine), softened at room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Line cookie sheets with parchment or lightly spray with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, mix the first six ingredients until well-blended.  Put baking soda and salt in measuring cup with flour.  Slowly add flour mixture to mixed ingredients and mix until thoroughly blended.  Roll into balls about the size of walnuts.  Dip a fork in some sugar and press each cookie in crossed pattern.  Make sure that you dip the fork in the sugar for each cookie and leave a little sugar on the top of each criss-cross pattern.  Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from cookie sheet and let cool 10 minutes on cooking racks before eating.  Delicious with a glass of milk or cup of coffee.
