Ingredients:
1 cup KRAFT Smooth Peanut Butter
½ cup white sugar
(1) egg
Directions:
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Add and mix all ingredients with a large spoon until well blended.
Then roll into 24 balls, place it by 4 inches apart, on baking sheets. Flatten with a fork.
Bake 20 minutes until lightly browned. (Do not overbake.)
Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets, and then transfer toa wire rack to cool completely.
Notes:
It will help the peanut butter cookies to retain their shape and not spread too much when baked when you chill the dough for a couple of hours will.
Place in an airtight jar for tasty treats at any time for up to a week.
You must dip the tines between the cookies in a bit of sugar to help prevent the fork from sticking while making a cross-hatch pattern on the cookies.
Use smooth, salted peanut butter for the best results. There’s no need to use sweetened peanut butter, but if that’s what you’ve got on hand, then you can use it, but you’re going to decrease the sugar to 2 tbsp. If you are using a natural peanut butter without a stabilizer, make sure that after opening the jar, you mix it very well because if not, the oil heavy top of that jar will result in runny cookies. Lastly, you can use any brand of peanut butter you enjoy.
