I received this recipe from my MIL who got it from her MIL. It probably came from the back of a peanut butter jar or something. Who knows. All I can say is they are great! I double the recipe, bake at 325 degrees F. for about 17 minutes and use about 2 oz. of dough per cookie to get 20 nice large crisp yet chewy cookies. I'm posting the original recipe as is and will let you play with it as you wish. Enjoy!
Vel's Peanut Butter Cookies©
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Cream together peanut butter and butter. Gradually add sugars. Mix well. Add egg, mix well. Sift together flour salt and baking soda. Add in two additions to creamed mixture. Beat well. Drop teaspoon size and flatten with fork. ( I roll them into balls first and then flatten them.) Bake at 350° F. for 8-10 minutes. Makes 4 1/2 dozen.
