1-1-1 Peanut Butter Cookies

I love these cookies because I'll never forget the recipe.  They are basic, but I think they are even tastier because they don't require a ton of ingredients.  Plus, the easier they are to make, the less frustrated I am when they are finally done, and the happiness can just grow exponentially with each bite.

My 1-1-1 Peanut Butter Cookies are an adaptation of Food Network's Magic Peanut Butter Cookies because I don't like using Splenda.  If you do, though, just replace the 1 cup sugar with 1 1/3 cup Splenda.  The rest is the same.

1-1-1 Peanut Butter Cookies


Ingredients:

1 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract


Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease a cookie sheet.

In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together.  Stir well. 

Roll the dough into 1 inch balls.


Place the balls on the cookie sheet.  Use a fork dipped in sugar to prevent sticking and create a criss-cross pattern on the balls, flattening slightly.

Bake for about 12 minutes and lightly sprinkle with more sugar. 

Let cool and remove from tray.

Enjoy the peanut butter deliciousness. 

These are a great dessert after asian fare such as Asian Style Breaded Chicken.
