Preheat

an electric mixer, beat the butter until soft. Add the sugars and
beat until creamy. Add the egg, peanut butter, salt baking soda
and vanilla.
With
a rubber spatula fold the flour into the egg mixture but do not
over mix. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on prepared
cookie sheet. With a fork press the balls into flat cookies and
bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until crisp and golden.
