November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month. These classic Peanut Butter Cookies courtesy of Allrecipes make for a delicious treat.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup sugar and 1 stick butter (room temperature). Beat in 1 egg, then mix in 1 cup peanut butter and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour until well combined.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and then roll in sugar. Place on prepared baking sheet and flatten with a fork, making a crisscross pattern. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges are golden. Cool on a baking sheet briefly before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
