Grandma Edie's Peanut Butter Cookies

These delicious gems are quick to whip up and scarf down.

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg

Combine and mix well. Form 24 balls. Evenly space on large cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.  Cool one minute on tray, then flatten slightly with the bottom of a cup or glass. Cool two more minutes then remove to cooling rack. 

Optional:  to make them a little fancier, I sometimes roll the raw dough balls in demerara sugar before baking. It gives them a little crisp and sparkle. However, my mom says it makes them a little too sweet. Try for yourself and decide. Stick with the basic recipe and you can't go wrong.
