Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• cookie sheet
• mixing bowl and spoon/electric mixer
• spoon and fork

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. In mixing bowl, cream together peanut butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla and mix until thoroughly blended.

3. Grease cookie sheet with butter or shortening. Drop spoon fulls of dough onto the cookie sheet.
