Steps:
- Combine Flour and Baking Soda with wisk; set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the Butter, both Sugars and Salt until smooth and creamy, not fluffy.
- Add the Egg, Vanilla and Peanut Butter and mix until thoroughly blended.
- Add the Flour Mixture and stir with wooden spoon, just until incorporated.
- Wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours.
- Using a small ice cream scoop (1 to 1-1/2 inches), form dough into balls. Place 2-inches apart, flatten slightly, and use a cookie stamp, or tines of a fork to decorate the top of the cookie.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes in preheated 325° oven until firm to the touch and golden brown on the bottom.
- Cool cookies completely before stacking and storing. May be stored in airtight container for at least 2 weeks.
- Makes 3 - 5 dozen cookies, depending on size of scoop.
- NOTE: Prep time does not include 2 hours to chill dough.
