Can you believe a cookie that is soft and can be modified almost as universally as you wish?

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

Chocolate chips, Kisses, Rolos, M&Ms, or any candy

Instructions

Mix peanut butter, egg, and vanilla, and drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Place one of your candies on top of the dough or push it inside, and roll the dough ball around it before it is set on the pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Remember, how I said you could modify it? A mini–Reese’s Cup, Milk Dud, caramel, gummy bear, peanut, or anything else you want could be added in or on these soft cookies. Do not press with a fork, and remove from the cookie sheet five minutes after removing from the oven. Enjoy.
