Today I'm going to impart upon all ye bakers my mother's super secret peanut butter cookie recipe. To this day, I have never tasted a better peanut butter cookie. In fact, I absolutely refuse to make any others besides this one. I love to give this recipe out ONLY after people have tasted them and declare them "the best peanut butter cookie [they] have ever tasted."

But you, my faithful fans, are going to get the recipe without having to drive all the way to my house or pay for shipping to have me send them to you.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT worry about the cookies as you mix them together. All will turn out fine. Just trust me....

Ok, ready? Here goes:

1 Cup peanut butter
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 egg

Mix together, drop by rounded spoonful on to ungreased cookie sheet and gently flatten w/a fork. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes

Did you catch that? Want me to repeat it?

1 Cup peanut butter
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 egg

Mix together, drop by rounded spoonful on to ungreased cookie sheet and gently flatten w/a fork. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes.

That's it. That's all there is to it. The trick, though, is to not overcook them. When your buzzer goes off, take them out of the oven - don't worry about the color or consistency. Just take them out, let them set for a few minutes, then cool them on a nice flat surface. I usually wait a few hours before eating them, and so should you. The real magic comes after they cool down.

You can use any kind of peanut butter you want - chunky or smooth, Jiff, Skippy, Peter Pan, generic. I've never tried this w/natural peanut butter, though, and I don't recommend it - all that extra oil may make your cookies runny. Yuck. But remember, the better the peanut butter, the better your cookies.

I hope they turn out to be the best you've ever made. They're quick. They're simple. And gosh darn it, they taste great.
