Peanut Butter Cookies

The all time best cookie dough! When I first moved out on my own, I used to occasionally make a batch of this dough and not bake a single cookie. Of course I would never do that now (they are pretty good baked too)!

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add egg, and continue to beat until light and fluffy.

Mix flour, baking soda and salt together. Gradually add to creamed mixture and stir until combined.

Shape into balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten the balls with a fork. Bake at 300 degrees F. for 18 to 24 minutes.
