PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups sifted flour
1/2 t soda
1/2 t salt

Combine margarine and peanut butter and blend in the sugars.  Beat in the eggs.  Sift dry ingredients together and add.  Drop by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased cooked sheet.  Flatten with fork and sprinkle a little cane sugar on top.  Bake at 350 about 10 minutes.

This recipe is very special because it was handed down from my mom's mom to her, so really my grandmother's recipe.  There is no better peanut butter cookie than this I don't believe.  The crunchy peanut butter works great, and they're the perfect chewiness that you want in a cookie.  Plus they have the cool criss-cross fork pattern on top just like when I used to buy my lunch in elementary school and you'd get that big peanut butter cookie with the imprint on top, perfect for holding in the sugar sprinkle.  Make this and fill your cookie jar and watch how fast they disappear!
Notice how there's already one missing off the rack, didn't even make it through the cooling process!
