Brielle's Avalon

My Dad’s favourite cookies. Still looking for my Grandmother’s recipe card. Since I haven’t found it yet, I’ll use this, especially since I want to add peanut butter and chocolate chips.

1/2 c Butter

1/2 c Peanut butter

1/2 c Brown Sugar

1/2 c Granulated Sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla

1 egg

1tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 c flour

Optional: nuts, chocolate chips, vanilla/butterscotch/peanutbutter chips, toffee bits, raisins or anything that sounds yummy.

Cream together butter, peanut butter, sugars and vanilla.

Add the egg.

Mix in the baking soda, salt and flour.

If you feel like adding anything else, now’s the time.

Roll into 24 balls on 2 cookie sheets. make crosshatches on them with a fork, flattening them somewhat. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.

Serve with milk or tea and pack for bagged lunches. These freeze well, too.
