PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup shortening (half butter or margarine)
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix shortening, peanut butter, sugars and egg thoroughly. Measure
flour by dipping method or by sifting. Blend all dry ingredients: stir
into shortening mixture. Chill dough. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll dough in 1 1/4 inch diameter balls. Place 3 inches apart on
lightly greased baking sheet. Flatten crisscross style with fork
dipped in flour. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
YIELD: About 3 dozen.
NOTE: If you use self-rising flour, omit baking powder, soda and
salt.My bride baked a humongous quantity of cookies over the years when
our kids were growing up and this "kid" as well enjoyed this wonderful rich
cookie. You might need to bake a double batch since they will
disappear quickly.
