Ingredients
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a large bowl, stir together ingredients until combined.
Shape dough into 1‐inch balls.
Place balls 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets, and flatten gently with tines of a fork.
Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Variations:
Add Munchies!
After dough balls are placed on cookie sheets, evenly press 1 cup of your desired addition, such as chocolate morsels, chocolate‐coated toffee bits, or chopped peanuts, onto the top of dough balls.
Bake as directed.

After you’ve combined all ingredients, divide peanut butter cookie dough in half.
Stir 2 melted semisweet chocolate baking squares into one half of dough.
Using equal parts peanut butter dough and chocolate dough, shape into 30 (1‐inch) balls.
Flatten gently with a spoon. Bake as directed.
