My all-time favorite peanut butter cookie!
I freeze the cookies, then take out what I want to eat.
Also, when baking the cookies, it may take anywhere from 12 to 15 minutes.
Melt In Your Mouth Peanut Butter Cookies
1 cup Crisco All-Vegetable Shortening
1 cup creamy peanut butter (See *Note)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar (Also known as confectioners sugar)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour, sifted
3 teaspoons baking soda (Yes, I said 3 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon salt
1.) In a bowl cream together, the shortening, peanut butter, granulated sugar and powdered sugar.
2.) Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
3.) Add the sifted flour, baking soda and salt. Then gradually add to the creamy mixture. Beat well.
4.) Using a teaspoon, drop cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheet.
5.) Flatten cookie dough with a floured fork, and bake in a 350°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
6.) Remove cookie sheet from oven, and place cookies on a cooling rack to allow cookies to cool completely.
7.) *Note: When making these cookies, I did use a creamy peanut butter which already has honey in the peanut butter. Also, I did refrigerate the cookie dough for an hour or two before placing the cookie dough on baking sheets. I also baked my cookies on Pampered Chef Baking Stones.
