Grandma's Peanut Butter Cookies

For as long as I can remember, my Grandma has ALWAYS had her cookie jar filled with these cookies whenever I have gone looking for them. For me, I have never tasted a better cookie, peanut butter or otherwise. I hope you like them as much as I do!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup margarine
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (eg. Kraft Smooth)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (try Roger's Golden Sugar!)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup flour (eg. Robin Hood All-purpose)

Equipment

• Medium bowl
• Cookie sheets
• Fork, knife, spoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F
2. Cream together the margarine and peanut butter using a fork.
3. Add the granulated and brown sugars to the creamed mix, and mix well.
4. Stir in the egg, vanilla, flour, and baking soda. Mix well. Don't be scared to get in there with your hands and mash it up really well!
5. Take small amounts of dough (maybe 1 tbsp) and roll into small balls and drop them on to the cookie sheets. (You shouldn't need to worry about greasing the sheets.)
6. Press the dough balls flat using a floured fork. This will also make the nice ridges in the cookie that make them so easily identifiable!
7. Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes.
8. Remove from the sheets immediately and place them on a cooling rack. They will be quite soft at first, but they will cool into a deliciously soft cookie.

This recipe will make up to 5 dozen cookies, depending on the sizes that you make. Once you try them, I'm sure you will agree that 5 dozen isn't enough!
