Peanut Butter Cookies

This afternoon I made peanut butter cookies! They turned out great and only took 10 minutes to bake in the oven.

Recipe:
***The recipe says it will make 60 1 and 1/2 inch cookies. However, I doubled the recipe and made them bigger and it made 40.
Preheat Oven to 375 F. Grease or line 2 cookie sheets.
Whisk together: 
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
Beat in a large bowl until well blended:
1/3 cup (5 and 1/3 tbp) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
Beat in:
1 large egg
1 cup of peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
1/2 tsp vanilla

Stir in the flour mixture until blended. Shape into 1-inch balls and arrange about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet. Press flat with a fork. Bake 1 sheet at a time, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let stand briefly, then remove to rack to cool.

*** To top it off I added a chocolate chip on top!
