Gourmet Magazine's Easy Peanut Butter Cookies

Rich and peanut-buttery tasting -- and kinda healthy too!!

In a large bowl , with an electric mixer , beat the peanut butter and sugar until well combined.

In a small bowl , lightly beat the egg , then beat it into the peanut butter mixture along with the soda and salt until well combined.

Roll 1-inch balls of dough and arrange them on greased cookie sheets.

With a fork , flatten and make a crosshatch pattern.

Bake until puffed and golden , about 13 minutes.

Let rest on baking sheet a minute or so before removing.
