Ma's Peanut Butter Cookies

Well its the weekend and Ma is in there bakin up a storm.  So far this weekend she has baked a banana snack cake and peanut butter cookies.  Gonna share the peanut butter cookie recipe with yall as she was not in picture mode for the cake.

Recipe:

1/2 c butter
1/2 c peanut butter
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar (I didn't have any brown sugar, so I used 1/2 c white sugar and 1 1/2 tbsp molasses)
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 c flour
3/4 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp whole flax seeds

Thoroughly cream butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla.  Sift together dry ingredients.  This is where I add the flax seeds.  I use whole flax seeds in most recipes, but they often fall out of a cookie or granola bar after it's cooked, so today I ground them, coarsely, in a coffee bean grinder.  Blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture.  Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar.  Place the balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.  Make a crisscross pattern on the top of the balls with a fork.  Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes or longer if you want a really crispy cookie.  Cool slightly, remove from pan.  The recipe says it makes four dozen, but I usually get about 3 because I make them too big.
