Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Last week, I was talking to my Gma on the phone, and she mentioned an easy peanut butter cookie recipe. The next day, as I was digging through my recipe card box, way in the back, I found a recipe that I had for “Magical Peanut Butter Cookies.” Like her recipe, it only had four ingredients! The kids and I made these on Tuesday, and they were so good.

Ingredients:

1 c. peanut creamy peanut butter
1 c. sugar (I believe the recipe my Gma had seen used brown sugar; I used white granulated sugar) **You’ll need a bit more sugar for the tops of the cookies.
1 egg (Make sure you have two small people who will fight over cracking the one egg…)<insert eye roll>
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350*
Grease large baking sheet (we ended up using two cookie sheets)
In mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
Stir well with spoon.
Roll dough into balls (walnut size) and place balls of dough on the baking sheet.
With a fork, criss cross the tops of the cookies.
Sprinkle the tops with sugar.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with a bit more sugar.
Cool slightly before removing from pan.
Enjoy!
