Peanut Butter Cookies
- 3 Cups all purpose flour
- 1 Cup vegetable shortening
- 1 Cup white sugar
- 1 Cup brown sugar (dark or light, I prefer dark)
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla (I use the fake stuff)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 Cup smooth peanut butter
- In large bowl, place all ingredients except flour.
- Mix until smooth and creamy with electric mixer.
- Add flour and mix until well combined. Dough will look a little crumbly.
- Form or scoop into balls about an inch and a half in diameter (can make them really big if you prefer).
- Place on lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Dip a fork or potato masher into sugar and press into each cookie to form a criss cross design.
- Bake at 350 for ten to fifteen minutes, until lightly browned around the edges.
