Peanut Butter Crisscrosses - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/4 c. orange juice
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 egg

Preparation

Measure flour, soda, baking powder and salt into sifter.
Cream shortening and peanut butter with brown and granulated sugars until fluffy in a large bowl; beat in egg.
Sift in flour mixture, adding alternately with orange juice and blending well to make a stiff dough.
Chill until firm enough to handle.
Roll dough, a teaspoonful at a time into balls; place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets; flatten, crisscross fashion with a fork.
Bake in 375\u00b0 oven for 12 minutes or until golden.
Remove from cookie sheets.
Cool completely on wire racks.
(I like to use extra crunchy peanut butter in them.)
