Directions:

In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until blended. Fold in peanut brittle. Add flour and baking soda; stir to make a soft dough. Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls, about 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets. Dip tines of fork into flour and press tines across tops of cookies to flatten; press again to opposite direction. Sprinkle cookies with granulated sugar. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 10-12 minutes, or just until cookies are golden.

Remove from baking sheets and let cool completely on wire racks.
