Deb's Peanut Butter Cookies

Submitted by Deb Braz

"I made up my own recipe for these cookies, as I don't like really sweet peanut butter cookies. As a matter of fact, some people may want to add a little more sugar to these. I make them just as written. Great with coffee, hot chocolate, or milk. Enjoy!"

3. Gently stir in the flour mixture into the butter mixuture until well blended.
4. Using a teaspoon, gather enough dough to form a ball aprox. 1".
5. Drop on to cookie sheet about 2" apart and gently push down making a criss cross mark on top of ball (till slightly flattened) using a fork dipped in sugar. (I use a dark colored cookie sheet.).
6. Bake in oven at 370°F for approximately 12 minute or unitl golden brown.
7. Remove to racks to cool.
8. *I have used this recipe to place the 1" dough balls into mimi muffin tins and bake for 12 minute As soon as they come out of the oven, I push in a mimi reeses peanut butter cup, or a hershey chocolate kiss.
9. Works great!
