Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Classic Peanut Butter Cookies This recipe is one that I have had in my files since I was a kid and started collecting recipes. I do not know why but these always turn out hard.. I love them and can soften them up by sticking them in the microwave for 10 seconds or so but not everyone wants to do that.. I did make these but only gave away half of them because I felt bad that they ended up so hard. 1 cup Shortening 1 teaspoon Vanilla 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed - I used light 2 eggs 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Grease or spray cookie sheet ( I spray them). In a large bowl - Cream together shortening, vanilla, and sugars together. Add eggs and beat well. In another bowl comine the Peanut butter, flour, salt and baking soda. Add to the sugar mix combining thoroughly. Form into tiny balls with hands, place on cookie sheet and flatten with fork and make x design.. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until firm Nutrition Facts User Entered Recipe 36 Servings Amount Per Serving Calories 181.9 Total Fat 9.8 g Saturated Fat 3.2 g Polyunsaturated Fat 1.7 g Monounsaturated Fat 4.4 g Cholesterol 18.5 mg Sodium 106.6 mg Potassium 84.9 mg Total Carbohydrate 20.9 g Dietary Fiber 0.7 g Sugars 5.6 g Protein 3.3 g Jenn B aka Mom2Sam and Tiny Make_it_Gluten_Free Make_Your_Own_Crafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
