Peanut Butter Cookie Drops

This recipe is one that I made up while rummaging through my cabinets one night in a frantic search for sweets. I didn't have all of the ingredients needed for traditional peanut butter cookies, so I made do. To be quite honest, it's a favorite in my house and I never ever make peanut butter cookies from a regular recipe anymore. These are much better!

Ingredients:

1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. vanilla (although not necessary, but better if you use it)

Start with egg and vanilla. Mix well. Add bits of flour and peanut butter gradually, alternating, until the mix is well blended.

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of mixture onto lightly greased or ungreased cookie sheet. Bake on 350 for about ten or twelve minutes or until browned slightly.

*Cookie tip: If you take them out of the oven just a few minutes before they're done and let them sit for a minute, they'll finish baking on their own OUT of the oven. You have to time it right, but it does help to keep them soft. Also, put your cookies in an air tight container or cookie jar and leave one slice of bread in the container with them and the bread will keep them soft over night. The slice of bread will need to be changed out daily and will be nice and crisp, but your cookies will stay soft and moist!
