No Flour PB Cookies

You Need:
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 cup super fine Sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a large baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon.
Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts, most likely using spoons, unless you feel like greasing your hands.
Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
With a fork, dipped in sugar (or splenda) to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie.
Bake for 5-12 minutes, depending on your oven.
Cool slightly before removing from pan.

Want to jazz it up? Try using gourmet peanut butters of flavor extracts instead of vanilla (or with vanilla). Maybe dip those bad boys in chocolate.

Note: I plan to play with sugar types. I find the sugar is a tad gritty, but I don't know if it's necessary or not. Some recipes call for more sugar, but we've found that the more sugar recipes are super gritty. I plan to try using 1/2 confectioners 1/2 superfine next time. They're still pretty tasty and super moist. Almost as good as buckeyes.

To make it easy to handle, oil your hands lightly.
Bon Appetite!
