After many trials, this is the best peanut butter cookie I've tasted. Just a bit different than many of the others but the shortening used does make for a different cookie; crisp and crunchie. As with all hand-formed cookies, kids love to make them.

Categories     Cookies     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Christmas     Picnic     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     New Year's Eve     Fall     Spring     Summer     Winter     Potluck

Yield 48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
11/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
peanuts for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Thoroughly cream butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer. Sift together dry ingredients; blend into creamed mixture. Shape into 1-inch balls; roll in granulated sugar. Place two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press 5 peanut halves atop each or crisscross with fork tines. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool slightly; remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Makes 4 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother cookie: If you prefer a more crunchy cookie, use chunky peanut butter instead.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies will continue to cook as they cool. If you bake them too long, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
