Crispy Peanut Butter Cookies

This peanut butter cookie recipe comes from an old newspaper clipping.

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, sift or stir before measuring

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups presweetened wheat puff cereal

Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar; add egg and beat well. Blend in peanut butter. Add flour alternately with the milk, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla. For each cookie, shape 1 teaspoon of dough into a ball. Roll each ball in cereal. Place cookies about 2 inches apart on lightly buttered baking sheets. Bake at 350° 10 to 12 minutes.
