1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Press ball down with fork one way and then press again to form little squares on top of ball. Space cookies approx 1-inch from the other.

Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes. If you like softer cookies about 8 to 10 minutes, no longer.
