Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter, room temperature
• 1 cup chunky or crunchy peanut butter
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 egg 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• About 45 jumbo semisweet chocolate morsels

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the margarine, peanut butter and sugar until very light. Add the egg and beat well. Add the flour and baking soda and beat just to combine. Form the dough into 1-inch balls and place 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball with the tines of a fork pressed in one direction and then across at 90 degrees to make a checkered pattern. Place one chocolate chip in the middle of each cookie.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies are golden on the edges (not browned).
