Time 38m

Yield 4 dozen filled cookies, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup shortening or 1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups icing sugar

Steps:

  • Cream together shortening, peanut butter and sugars.
  • Add vanilla.

  • Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture.
  • Shape into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets.
