    Cookie Jar Peanut Butter Cookies


    Source of Recipe


    USA Cookbook, Sheila Lukins

    Recipe Introduction


    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.

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp 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

    Recipe



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


    Yield: 60 cookies
    Preparation time: 15 minutes
    Cooking time: 12 minutes
    Ready in: 27 minutes
