CRISS CROSS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

CRISS CROSS PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

• 1/2 Butter
• 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
• 1 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 Cup Peanut Butter - I prefer the Crunchy
• 2 Large Egg well beaten
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
• 2 1/2 Cups Flour or sufficient to make stiff dough

Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars together. Add well beaten eggs and vanilla. Sift flour and soda together. Work the dough to moisten all the flour - add more flour, if needed. Cut off small pieces of dough. Roll in balls and flatten out on cookie sheets in a criss cross design with a silver fork dipped in water. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven until light brown around the edges. Cool on a clean brown paper sack that has been torn open using the inside.

Cooks notes: This is one of my favorite cookies - especially right out of the oven. Mmmmm! In the old days my Momma would cool cookies on newspapers...I have since rethought that due to the whole "ink-soaking-into-the-cookie-thingy". ha ha!
