Ingredients
-
1/2 c. shortening (half butter or margarine), softened
1/2 c. creamy or chunk style peanut butter
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Preparation
-
Mix thoroughly shortening, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and egg. Blend in the remaining ingredients.
Cover and chill about 1 hour. Heat oven to 375\u00b0. Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place them 3 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Dip a fork in flour or sugar and press on each ball in a crisscross pattern to flatten to about 2 inches.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set but not hard.
Immediately remove the cookies from the baking sheet.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
