These cookies melt in your mouth and are easy to make. My mother use to make them at least once a week and all the kids from the center(Winchester Center) would somehow know when she was baking . We would sit outside on the grass with all our friends and eat these cookies and drink cold lemonade.
Peanut Butter Cookies
heat oven to 375degrees
mix in a large bowl the following:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup shortening
cream these 3 ingredients
now add 1 egg
1 cup of creamy peanut butter
1/2 teas. salt
1/2 teas.baking soda
1 and 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 teas. vanilla
beat it all together then roll it in balls and then in granuated sugar then take a fork and press them down crossways
place on cookie sheet make sure to leave space in between because they spread
Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 15 minutes watch them toward the end so they don't burn
Sometimes I double the batch because they are so good and last well in the cookie jar if I hide the cookie jar
Wow, I guess Heidi is really keeping up with her new blog! Her peanut butter cookies are really really really good. This comes from a completely unbiased observer :-)
ReplyDeleteThese cookies have been a favorite for years. Sometimes she uses chunky peanut but the girls seem to like them better than the guys.
These cookies sound yummy!!!! I think I will have to make a special trip (one of these days) to Torrington to check them out! Ellen
