Peanut Butter Brittle Cookies

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 pkg. (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
1 1/2 cup crushed peanut brittle
2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Additional granulated sugar, for sprinkling

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 oven for 10-12 minutes, or just until cookies
are golden. Remove from baking sheets and let cool completely on wire
racks.

Makes 4 dozen cookies.
