PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
*Note: This recipe is written in Diamondstarr's own hand. Nothing has been changed.
The Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup stick margarine or butter, softened
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
The Instructions:
1) Please make sure your hands are very clean.
2) Put some granulated sugar in a bowl and on the side.
3) Mix your 1/2 cup of sugar and the rest of your ingredients in a large bowl.
4) I like to mix with the ingredients with my hand s to help blend the flavors together in a way the spoon doesn't. it give the cookies a much richer taste.
5)If the dough still sticks to your hands then you need to gradually add more flour. I usually use an extra cup of flour. It varies though.
6) When you've got your dough made, preheat oven at 375 degrees.
7) Shape the dough into 1 1/4 inch round balls. Place about 3inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten them with a fork dipped in your bowl of sugar and make a crisscross pattern.
8)When oven is heated, place the cookies in and let bake for 8 to 10mins or until light brown.
9) When cookies are done you can take them off of the cookie sheet and place them onto a plate. Let cool for about 2 to 5mins.
10) Eat and enjoy 'em!
A couple fax and tips:
1) This recipe makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
2) If your using self rising flour omit the baking soda, baking powder and salt from the recipe.
