Cookie Jar Peanut Butter Cookies image

My favorite peanut butter cookies! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside--just the way I like them. From Sheila Lukins USA Cookbook, a great book!

Time 27m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup solid shortening, at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
  • Cream the butter, shortening, and both sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the peanut butter.
  • Add the flour mixture by the cupful and beat at low speed to mix well.
  • Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets (I line the sheets with parchment paper) about 2 inches apart.
  • Press each cookie twice in each direction with a lightly floured fork to make a crosshatch design.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes.
  • ***Do not overbake--they will still be a bit pale, but if you overbake, they won't be chewy on the inside.
  • ***Use a spatula to transfer to a rack to cool.
