Yummy Peanut Butter Cookies image

Another favorite from Betty Crocker that I have made for at least 15-20 years now. ;) A great addition to any cookie tray or for a cookie exchange! Try the Hershey Kiss tip at the bottom too for a great crowd pleaser!

Time 30m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter (I usually use Skippy creamy, but chunky for a change is great)
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup margarine (I use Imperial for baking usually) or 1/4 cup butter, softened (I use Imperial for baking usually)
1 egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)

Steps:

  • Place 2 tablespoons sugar in a small dish and set aside.
  • Combine sugars, peanut butter, shortening, margarine and egg in a large mixing bowl.
  • Stir remaining ingredients into mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls.
  • Dip each ball in sugar on one side.
  • Place approximately 2-3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet, sugar side up.
  • Lightly press a dinner fork flat across each ball twice to make a criss cross pattern.
  • Sprinkle flattened dough with light amount of sugar to "dust" the criss cross.
  • Bake 9 to 10 minutes, until cookies are light brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from tray.
  • Enjoy! ;).
  • TIP- another idea is to press a Hershey's kiss into the middle of each ball prior to baking instead of flattening it with a fork for a "Peanut Butter Kiss". ;) Kids love these!
