Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Susan was reading cuisinenie when she saw a stack of Jane's peanut butter cookies.
Oh, the joy that is peanut butter!
If Susan weren't so tired she might have started a cookie baking project right then because she knows her peanut butter cookies would totally mop the floor with Jane's.
Susan's cookies are flourless, which is much better because nobody needs any extranneous ingredients to get in the way of all the lovely peanut butter and sugar.

2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups chunky peanut butter

350* oven
Combine sugar & soda; stir in eggs & vanilla, add peanut butter. Stir until combined.
Does everyone know the water displacement method to measure peanut butter? Fill a large measuring cup with 2 cups cold water, add peanut butter until the level of the water is raised to 4 cups.
Form into 1" balls & drop onto a cookie sheet three inches apart.
Bake for 10 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown.
