CHRISTINA'S  PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

3 c AP flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1 c butter

1 c peanut butter

1 c white sugar

1 c brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 400. Cream butter, peanut butter, and sugars until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients until you have a firm smooth dough. DO NOT CHILL. drop on clean cool cookie sheet by the tablespoonful and  bake at 400 degrees for 10-11 minutes on the middle oven rack.  

Notes:

• you can use margarine but you'll have a softer cookie
•  I use a commercial scoop but its probably about 1/8 c.
• I get  3 dozen exactly from one batch.
•  Dough can be frozen in logs and baked later
• preferably only bake one cookie sheet at a time, if you must do 2 sheets rotate halfway through baking time.
