Today was certainly a baking day. I asked my husband, Eric what he would like for a snack and this was his choice!! I actually think this recipe, from my Betty Crocker cookbook is the only peanut butter cookie recipe I have ever used. The cookies were delicious!! Make sure you got plenty of milk if you bake these!! Oh and don't forget the shortening! That's an ingredient that you don't see much anymore!
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix sugars, peanut butter, shortening, margarine and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
Heat oven to 375F. Shpe dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped in flour. Bake until light brown. 9-10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. About 3 dozen cookies; 85 calories per cookie.
