This recipe was featured in our Sunday paper and I just had to try it. Kids really love the peanut butter surprise inside the cookie.

½ cup sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup creamy Jif Creamy Peanut Butter, divided
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla

Place one peanut butter ball on each circle; bring edges over to completely cover it. (Dough may crack; reshape cookies as needed.) Place cookies with seam side down on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 375 F. for 7-9 minutes or until set. 2 dozen
