Here's a simple recipe easy enough for children to prepare. Remember to always supervise young ones in the kitchen.

Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup any style peanut butter (except for natural-style)

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350*F (175*C). Grease baking sheets.
2. In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together peanut butter and sugar until combined well. In a small bowl lightly beat egg and beat into peanut butter mixture with baking soda and vanilla until combined well.
3. Roll level tablespoons of dough into balls and arrange about 1-inch apart on baking sheets. With tines of a fork flatten balls to about 1 1/2-inches in diameter, making a crosshatch pattern.
4. Bake cookies in middle of oven until puffed and pale golden, about 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets 2 minutes and transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
