Double Treat Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. shortening (part butter)
2 eggs
1 c. peanut butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. vanilla
1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips or more
1 c. chopped, salted peanuts (I omit these and use crunchy peanut butter instead)

Preparation

Sift together flour, soda and salt.
Set aside.
Beat together shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla until fluffy.
Blend in peanut butter.
Add dry ingredients.
Stir in chocolate chips. Shape into small balls and place on ungreased baking sheet. Flatten with a glass dipped in sugar.
(I prefer a glass wrapped in a clean napkin dipped in cold water to flatten.)
Bake at 350\u00b0 for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
These are nice and sugary and crunchy if not overbaked.
