Grandma Jane's Peanut Butter Cookies are full of peanut butter flavor. My Mom's recipe that makes soft and chewy cookies on the inside and light and crispy on the outside.
Servings: 30 cookies
Calories: 204kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the shortening, peanut butter, sugar, eggs, flour, baking soda and powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
- Drop rounded ball shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Dip the tines of a fork into granulated sugar and “criss-cross” them onto the cookie. (you could also use a cookie stamp)
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Watch them closely, because, in order for them to be soft and chewy, you can’t over bake them! When the edges are golden brown, it’s time to take them out. Leave them on the cookie sheet for a minute or two before removing to a cooling rack.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
These cookies freeze well!
