Busy Moms' Peanut Butter Cookies

Sometimes, what deters me about cookbooks are that they seem to require a lot of time and ingredients.  I don't have much time these days and ingredients add up in $.  Since I been living on 1 income it has nurtured a VERY frugal side I never knew existed.  These cookies have become a family favorite (even my co-workers love them).  It's my favorite because it's simple, inexpensive and absolutely DELISH!!  Here's the recipe, our review is at the bottom (although it may already be obvious we like these):


1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tbs vanilla


Preheat oven 350°F. Mix sugar, egg and vanilla together, then add peanut butter. (confession I love vanilla and don't really measure it but I think it's around 2 tbs) It feels like there should be more to this but really THAT'S IT! 

I like to form a giant ball and let it set for an hr or so in the fridge before forming into 1" balls and pressing with a fork. But, you can do it immediately afterwards, if you just can't wait.


*To prevent the fork from sticking just dip the fork in a little sugar.


Bake for 10 to 12 minutes at 350°F.  

Makes aprx. 2 dozen cookies

Our Review:  Everyone loves these cookies so all that's left to say is try it for yourself.  You can be as creative as you want with these by adding peanut butter morsels or M&M's.  For us we like to keep it simple as they hold their own weight as far as taste goes.  But, that is just our preference. 
is just our preference.
