THE WORLD'S BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
The name of the recipe says it all. While it is my description of these cookies, it is also the actual name of the recipe that was printed in a small booklet of recipes that came out of a bag of Gold Medal Flour at least 40 years ago. Tried and true, this is the only peanut butter cookie recipe my mother ever made, and it is the only recipe I will use. Prepared as described below, the cookies are soft, yet crispy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and sugar until nice and smooth.
- Add egg and vanilla and beat in well with a spoon.
- Gradually add the self-rising flour. Dough will be stiff.
- Form one inch balls and roll in sugar (I like to toss a dozen of the dough balls into a bag with sugar, shake gently to coat and then leave them in the bag for a couple minutes so a thicker coat of sugar adheres to the dough, then give another light shake before removing them from the bag. But just giving them a quick roll is fine).
- Place sugared dough balls onto an UNGREASED baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten balls with the back of a fork (or if you want flat tops you can flatten them with the bottom of a drinking glass. I usually flatten them with the textured side of my meat cleaver giving the cookies a nice waffle pattern).
- Optional step: You can sprinkle a little extra sugar onto the tops after they are flattened if you like. It adds a little "crunch" to this soft cookie.
- Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges just start to turn brown. Remove from the oven and cool cookies on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to cooling racks.
- Note: While baking one batch of cookies, cover the remaining dough with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out. I generally form the dough balls for the next batch while the previous batch is cooling on the baking sheet.
- Variation: To give a Christmas touch. Dip the bottom half of the dough balls in regular sugar, then dip the top half of the balls in colored sugar crystals. Then flatten and bake as directed.
- Enjoy!

THE BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES IN THE WORLD!
I got this recipe from a wife of a co-worker. The recipe is called "Peanut Butter Cookies" but they are honestly the best peanut butter cookies that I have ever tasted in my life. I have not made these myself before because my boyfriend isn't crazy about peanut butter cookies so I do not know how much the recipe will make so I am going to give it my best estimated guess. For all of you peanut butter cookie lovers, I really hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I did.
