Peanut Butter Cookies

I love Peanut Butter Cookies!  So when I saw the very easy Peanut Butter Cookie recipe in the October issue of Parents, I knew it was one I wanted to try.  One afternoon after nap time, I decided we should make a welcome home treat for Daddy, so Gabriel and I made ‘em.  They were SO good, and a great surprise for Daddy too!  Of course I used all organic ingredients.  You won’t believe how easy this recipe is, and maybe you can even use it for your family night tonight!  Friday Night = Family Night!!

1 cup peanut butter, smooth or chunky
1 cup sugar, plus more for rolling
1 egg

1.  Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Stir together the peanut butter, sugar, and egg in a large mixing bowl
2.  Roll dough into 1″ balls.  Put some sugar on a plate and roll balls in it to coat.  Place 2″ apart on ungreased   cookie sheet.
3.  Press each ball down with a fork to make a crisscross design.  Bake for 10 min. or until cookies just start to brown on the edges.  Remove from the oven and let cool on wire racks.

The only other tip I have for you is to use parchment paper.  I never bake cookies without it.  I hate washing cookies sheets!  Hope you enjoy these!
