Melt In Your mouth Peanut Butter Cookies

Who loves peanut butter?  I sure do.  This recipe is one of my grandma's that I modified for a friend.  In fact, I am eating one as I type!  These cookies are extremely simple, and very rich.  For good reason though!  They have a whole pound of butter in them!   Fortunately, there are plenty to go around, because this recipe makes over 40 cookies!


 Peanut Butter Cookies

1 lb. butter
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 cups flour
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup peanut butter


Directions

Preheat oven to 375*.
 Combine sugar, vanilla, butter and egg, beat until creamy.
 Add flour gradually, scraping sides after every addition.
 Mix in peanut butter.   Dough will appear to be crumbly.
 Roll into 1-2 inch balls, and slightly flatten with your first two fingers. 
 Bake for ten minutes.  Cookies will look extremely underdone.  Let cool until firm.  Enjoy!



These cookies are a great treat for any day of the week!
