Ingredients
- 1 c. Shortening
- 1 c. Granulated Sugar
- 1 c. Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp. M-K Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3 c. All Purpose Flour, sifted
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1 c. Peanut Butter
- 2 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 dash Salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and M-K Pure Vanilla Extract until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the peanut butter until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into tiny balls. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between each ball.
- Using the back of a fork, gently press down on each ball of dough, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be cautious not to overbake, as you want them to remain soft in the middle.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes
