Fannie Farmer's *and now Sara's* famous peanut butter cookies

1 c butter

1 c peanut butter

1 c white sugar

1 c brown sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

2 c flour

Cream butters well, beat in sugars, then eggs & vanilla.  Blend dry ingredients in well.

(Hint: A little extra butter or peanut butter makes the cookies "dustier" in texture)

Arrange by spoonfuls on an unbuttered cookie sheet...press flat and mark with a fork dipped in flour.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, allow to cool a minute or two, then remove to cooling rack.  This recipe makes 10 dozen cookies, so you might want to half the recipe if you live alone.
