Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter, room temperature
1 egg

1 cup all-purpose
flour
1 teaspoon baking soda

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, cream butter or margarine, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Stir in egg, flour, and baking soda.

Using your hands, roll dough by teaspoonfuls into small balls; place onto prepared cookie sheets. Flatten into a crisscross pattern with a fork that has been dipped in water.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. NOTE: Do not over bake as the bottoms of the cookies will burn easily. Remove from oven and cool on wire racks.

Yields 3 dozen cookies.
