You don't have to be a kid to love peanut butter - or cookies, for that matter! This Peanut Butter Cookies recipe combines the two favorites into one ageless treat.
What You'll Need
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/3 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, well beaten
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix well.
- In a large bowl, combine the shortening and peanut butter until creamy, then gradually add the brown and granulated sugars until blended. Add the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly.
- Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms. Drop by 1/2-teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden.
