      Title: Peanut Butter Cookies
 Categories: Cookies, Pn butter
   Servings: 36

    1/2 c  Margarine
    1/2 c  Brown sugar, firmly packed
    1/2 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Peanut butter
      1    Egg
    1/2 ts Vanilla
    1/2 ts Salt
      1 c  Flour

  Cream margarine and peanut butter until well blended. Add both sugars. Beat
  egg slightly and add to sugar mixture. Sift dry ingredients together and
  add to creamy mixture; add more flour if dough is not quite stiff enough.
  Add vanilla. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Press gently with
  sugared fork; this step is important to the flavor of the cookies, as they
  cook more quickly and get a better consistency. Bake at 350 degrees until
  light brown, about 10 minutes.
