Peanut Butter Cookies

Using this old-fashioned recipe for peanut butter cookies you can cook up a batch in no time. It makes 6 dozen cookies.

1 c creamy peanut butter
1 c butter, softened
1 c packed brown sugar
1 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 c flour
2 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1 vanilla
sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixer bowl, beat butter and peanut butter on medium speed until creamy; gradually add sugars and beat well. Add eggs and beat well. In medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt using a wire wisk. Add to sugar mixture and beat until smooth. Add vanilla. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 3 hours.

Shape dough into 1  1/4-inch balls. Place 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Dip a fork in additional sugar and flatten cookies in a crisscross design. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove cookies to wire rack and cool.
