Peanut Butter Cookies {The Fannie Farmer Cookbook}

Logan requested these today, he LOVES peanut butter cookies. Brooklynn can't stand them! I think it's interesting how kids go through phases...she used to eat nothing but peanut butter and jam or honey sandwiches now she's a turkey girl on a deli bun. The only peanut butter she's interested in is Peanut Butter M & M's (a must have at her swim meets). Then, there's Jax. He requested Snicker Doodles, but he only eats peanut butter sandwiches with honey or "homemade" raspberry freezer jam. Go figure. 

1/2 Pound Butter
1 C Chunky Peanut Butter (I use creamy)
1 C Granulated Sugar
1 C Dark-Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 C Flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease some cookie sheets. 

Cream the butter and peanut butter together. Beat in the two sugars, then add the egg and the vanilla and mix well. 

Mix together the salt, baking soda, and flour and add to the first mixture, combining thoroughly. 

Arrange by teaspoonfuls on the cookie sheets, about 1 1/2 inches apart. Press each one flat with the back of a floured spoon. 

Bake about 7 minutes or 'til firm.
