INSTRUCTIONS
This is my favorite peanut butter cookie; it is also my favorite chocolate chip cookie. I found this recipe in the New York Times over 30 years ago. The only problem with this recipe is it doesn't make enough cookies.

3/4 cup unsifted flour, stirred a bit
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (1/4 pound stick) butter
1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulate sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup salted Spanish peanuts, red skins on
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate pieces

On wax paper thoroughly stir together the soda and flour. In a medium mixing bowl cream butter and peanut butter. Beat in, one ingredient at a time, the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture. With a spoon mix well. Stir in peanuts and chocolate pieces.

Drop by heaping teaspoons around 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Press down with floured fork making criss-cross pattern; re-flour fork for each cookie.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until lightly browned - about 10 minutes. Let cookies stand on the sheet about 1 minute, then with a wide metal spatula remove to wire racks to cool.

Store in a tightly covered tin box.

Makes 4 dozen 2 inch cookies.
