- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- 1 ¼ cups sifted all-purpose flour

Notes:
When Ginger and Jonathan were young, I didn't have the patience to let them make Christmas cut-out cookies so we made these peanut butter cookies and had just as much fun. You can use colored sugars to make them more interesting.
