Simple Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are so simple that anyone, any age could make them... and this is what you will need:

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 tsp vanilla

Simple, right (and yes, NO flour)???

So I mix the sugar, vanilla and egg together then add the peanut butter.  It is so simple you can do it with just a big mixing spoon.  

Preheat that oven to 350 degrees (I used my toaster oven to bake these cookies).  Parchment paper on your baking sheet or pan... if no parchment, foil the pan and spray or butter it.  Next... make cookie dough balls or scoops if you have them.  Whatever size you want.  These cookies do not spread very much, so keep that in mind.  Once they are on the pan, press them with your hands so they won't dome up, take a fork and make a criss-cross design, if you want to.  Baking time may vary depending on whether you want really soft cookies or more firm and darker brown cookies.  It doesn't take long to bake these, so don't walk away for more than 5-10 minutes....  

This recipe made 12-15 cookies for me.  And it is so easy to double or triple... etc.  I added vanilla because it seemed to enhance the flavor of the cookies.

Good luck and enjoy!!!
