Ingredients
1 c butter flavored crisco shortening
1 c sugar
1 c firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (just pour it in)
2 eggs, beaten
1 c jif peanut butter (i put an extra hunk in)
2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Directions :
Preheat oven to 350°
2I use a Kitchen Aid stand mixer & leave it running the whole time I’m putting this together.
3Cream shortening, sugars, and vanilla extract.
4Add beaten eggs, and beat thoroughly. (Just throw them in, don’t beat first)
5Stir in peanut butter.
6Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture.
7Using big scoop, place 6 level scoops on ungreased air bake cookie sheets.
8Press with back of fork dipped in milk to make a crisscross design. Original recipe calls for flour but milk makes it crisper. Refer to picture above. It shows one that is in the ball & the others show how much to flatten.
9Bake at 350° for exactly 14 minutes. Set your timer.
10Remove from oven & let cool on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes. Then transfer to wire cooling rack until completely cool. I stack these standing up in large air tight container to keep them from weighing heavy on each other.
