  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.
