 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1 1/4   c            Flour
    3/4   t            Baking soda
    1/4   t            Salt
    1/2   c            Margarine (l stick)
    1/2   c            Peanut butter
    1/2   c            Sugar
    1/2   c            Packed brown sugar
  1                    Egg
    1/2   t            Vanilla

 Stir together flour, soda, and salt.  In a mixer bowl
 beat butter for 30 seconds.  Add peanut butter and
 sugars; beat till fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla; beat
 well.  Add dry ingredients to beaten mixture; beat
 till well combined.  Shape dough into 1 inch balls;
 roll in granulated sugar, if desired.  Place 2 inches
 apart on an ungreased cookie sheet; crisscross with
 the tines of a fork.  Bake at 375 for 9-10 minutes .
  Cool about 1 minute before removing to a wire rack.
  Makes 48. For an alternative, do not crisscross with
 a fork.  Simply cook as directed.  Upon removing
 cookies from the oven, place a chocolate candy Kiss in
 the center of each cookie, unwrappped of course.
  Press slightly and cool completely.  You can wrap
 cookie dough into a 1 inch ball around a candy kiss
 and cook as directed.  This gives you a cookie with a
 chocolate center.  This is also another great
 alternative.
