    These will not stay around for too long! Kids of all ages will love then. Doubling recipe works well, great sellers for bake sales also. Anytime I make any kind of cookies, I always put the dough in the refrigerater for atleast an hour. So the dough firms back up and holds a cookie shape better when cooking. Note: if using crunchy peanut butter do not add any nuts.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup butter, softened, not melted
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 3/4 cup peanut butter...crunchy or smooth
    • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • Pinch of salt

    Directions

    1. Beat, butter & brown sugar on low speed until incorporated. Then increase speed to high and mix until light & fluffly, about 10 minutes. Making sure to turn mixer off and scrape the sides of the bowl down and return to mixing.
    2. Add, egg and peanut butter and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
    3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, wisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    4. Turn mixer down to low and add flour mixer. Turn mixer to medium and mix briefly until a smooth dough is formed.
    5. Cover dough in a bowl and refrigerate atleast 1 hour.
    6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Using a teaspoon or small melon scooper, form dough into a small ball. Will make about 50 small balls. Put sugar in a small dish and lightly roll the dough balls around until covered with sugar. Place about an inch apart onto cookie sheet.
    7. Using a fork gently...do not flatten...press into the top of the dough just enough to it inprints the fork, in a criss cross pattern.
    8. Bake for about 12 to 15 mins. Note: If you like a crunchy cookie leave in for more towards the 15 mins. Let the cookies cool slightly on the cookie sheet, then transfer to cooling racks until completely cooled.
