Peanut Butter Cookies

Since I'm home more than I'm working now I'm trying to find things to keep me busy. I found a really easy to make recipie for Peanut Butter Cookies. And since Peanut Butter Cookies are my favorite cookie. I made some and they turned out pretty good. The recipie is as follows:
· 1/2 cup butter or margarine (I always use butter)
· 1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
· 1/2 cup granulated sugar
· 1/2 cup brown sugar
· 1 egg
· 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
· 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
· 1/4 teaspoon salt
· 1/2 cup granulated sugar (use to roll cookie balls in)

Cream butter, peanut butter, both sugars, egg and vanilla.
Sift together all the dry ingredients; blend into creamed mixture.
Shape in 1 inch balls; roll in granulated sugar.
Place 2 inches apart on a ungreased cookie sheet.
Press balls with a fork making a crisscross on top or press a peanut half into the top of the balls.
(That last part hurts but it makes good cookies)
Bake at 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Cool slightly; remove from pan.

The only think I did different is I made 3 inch balls so I could have BIG cookies.
Let me know what you guys think.
Good Eats!!!!!!!!
