Add the flour in thirds and stir until smooth. Fold in the peanut butter chips. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons).

Either way, bake for 10 minutes, in a nonstick baking pan, rotating the pan halfway through baking time. Cool the cookies on a rack before serving.

Time 27m

Yield 3 dozen cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup white sugar
1 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
1 cup creamy peanut butter (Skippy)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups flour (1/4 cup more if needed)

Steps:

  • Cream together the sugars, Crisco, peanut butter.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together and add gradually until blended well.
  • Roll into tablespoon size balls.
  • Roll cookie dough balls into sugar.
  • Place on cookie sheets- do not mash with fork in normal "peanut butter cookie" fashion!
  • Bake at 350° oven for 11-13 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth and velvety texture.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
