- Yields:
-
36 cookies
ingredients
- 118.29 ml granulated sugar
- 118.29 ml packed brown sugar
- 118.29 ml peanut butter (I usually use Skippy creamy, but chunky for a change is great)
- 118.29 ml shortening
- 59.14 ml margarine (I use Imperial for baking usually) or 59.14 ml butter, softened (I use Imperial for baking usually)
- 1 egg
- 295.73 ml all-purpose flour
- 3.69 ml baking soda
- 2.46 ml baking powder
- 1.23 ml salt
- 29.58 ml sugar (for topping)
directions
- Place 2 tablespoons sugar in a small dish and set aside.
- Combine sugars, peanut butter, shortening, margarine and egg in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir remaining ingredients into mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls.
- Dip each ball in sugar on one side.
- Place approximately 2-3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet, sugar side up.
- Lightly press a dinner fork flat across each ball twice to make a criss cross pattern.
- Sprinkle flattened dough with light amount of sugar to "dust" the criss cross.
- Bake 9 to 10 minutes, until cookies are light brown.
- Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from tray.
- Enjoy! ;).
- TIP- another idea is to press a Hershey's kiss into the middle of each ball prior to baking instead of flattening it with a fork for a "Peanut Butter Kiss". ;) Kids love these!
