Evil Peanut Butter Cookies

These little devils are what Paula Deen calls "Magical Peanut Butter Cookies". They are pure evil. They melt in your mouth therefore fooling you into believing you can eat as many as you like. The Champions have been known to eat an entire batch in one day.

1 cup peanut butter (either creamy or crunchy, I like creamy)
1 1/3 cup of sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together. Roll into little balls and place on a cookie sheet. You can leave them in the ball form and the cookies will bake to the "one-bite" size, or, press criss-cross with a fork for a more traditional peanut butter cookie. Bake 11-12 minutes. Watch carefully because the peanut butter will burn and be bitter. Cool on a wire wrack.

For perfectly sinful cookies, place an unwrapped Hershey kiss in the center of each warm, bite-size cookie and let the melty goodness begin.
