Tomorrow is the birthday of a good friend of mine, so I've been searching the web for good peanut butter recipes to whip up for the occasion, since she loves peanut butter. I have indeed come across an excellent recipe... but that's not what this post is about; I'll tell you all about the birthday recipe this weekend, after the birthday celebration.
For now, you'll have to settle for these peanut butter sandies. I came across these during my search and they sounded so delicious, and so easy, that I had to make them immediately. They are exactly as Tarah describes them: "These cookies are just an excuse to have pure peanut butter... it tastes just as if you're licking peanut butter from the spoon!" She's absolutely right, every bite of these cookies is pretty much equivalent to a lick from a peanut butter covered spoon. I was really craving some peanut butter, and these definitely did the trick!

Peanut Butter Sandies

1 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup flour
1 cup light brown sugar


Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, beat together sugar and peanut butter. Slowly add flour and mix until thoroughly combined.

Using your hands, roll about a tablespoon of dough together into a ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and press slightly to flatten.

Bake 8 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes then carefully remove to wire racks to continue to cool. It is best to allow them to cool completely before eating, they "set" while they cool.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
