Ingredients
1 cup sugar1 cup CHUNKY peanut butter (you can use fat-free if you like; it tastes about the same)1 large egg
Directions
Make sure you use crunchy peanut butter- creamy will not work.
1. Preheat to 375.
2. Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix together.
3. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet (Warning: these tend to spread out quite a lot, and sometimes you just end up with a big mass of cookie).
4. Flatten each cookie a little and
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until edges are crisp. Makes about 18 servings.
Note: When these come out of the oven, they will not seem quite done because they fall apart when you try to pick them up. Cooling rectifies this.

Enjoy!

    Love this recipe. Got the same one from my mother in law a million years ago. We add a teaspoon of Vanilla Extract - 1/31/13

    I have made these for years with creamy PB. No problems and my GKids make them easily! A recipe to hand down, for sure! - 1/10/11

    I also use creamy, and brown sugar instead of white. The brown keeps them softer and has a nicer flavour in my opinion. - 4/23/10

    I'm craving something sweet...but it just seems that flour is missing in this recipe for some reason. I guess because I'm use to adding it. I may try another version of this tonight. - 6/17/09

    These are wonderful. They satisfy the sweet tooth, but be careful to eat only one and/or record all you eat. - 4/24/09
