Peanut Butter Cookies (by kingarthurwannabe)

[BakerAunt]

kingarthurwannabe submitted this recipe to the King Arthur Baking Circle on August 27, 2002. I am typing it here from a copy that I had printed. kingarthurwannabe states, "This is my Mom's recipe; she got it originally from her 1940's era range cookbook "Magic Chef Cooking." The directions are exactly as printed in the original cookbook."

Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 cup fat (I always bake with butter)
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Cream the fat, peanut butter and sugars together. Add the egg and beat well. Sift the remaining dry ingredients together and add to the first mixture. Add the vanilla and form into small balls. Place on greased baking sheet (I don't grease m my sheets are well-seasoned, use your judgement) and press each ball flat with the prongs of a fork. Bake at 350F for 12 minutes.

Yield: 4 dozen 2-inch cookies. Enjoy!
