Your child will be the most popular kid in school with a few of these delicious treats packed in his or her lunch. But be sure to save a few for yourself - adults love them too!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1/2 cup (1 stick/4 oz./113g) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:
Place oven rack just above oven center. Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.

In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. In another bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into butter mixture until well blended.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Gently flatten each ball with fork in a criss-cross pattern. Bake in the top half of preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove cookies from sheets; cool on wire racks.

Makes 30 cookies.

The recipe has the right combination of ingredients for a great tasting cookie. However being in warm & humid climate, its easier to work with the cookie by refrigerating the dough for at least 30 mins otherwise it is very sticky.

Great recipe! Easy to make and delicous. My husband is a diabetic so I subtituted some brown sugar blend for the regular brown sugar. Didn't change the taste at all.

There is too much Butter in the cookies! I think that half the amount would be sufficient.
