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! Ingredients:
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) |
Directions:
1. Place 2 tablespoons sugar in a small dish and set aside.
2. Combine sugars, peanut butter, shortening, margarine and egg in a large mixing bowl.
3. Stir remaining ingredients into mixture.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
6. Roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls.
7. Dip each ball in sugar on one side.
8. Place approximately 2-3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet, sugar side up.
9. Lightly press a dinner fork flat across each ball twice to make a criss cross pattern.
10. Sprinkle flattened dough with light amount of sugar to dust the criss cross.
11. Bake 9 to 10 minutes, until cookies are light brown.
12. Allow cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from tray.
13. Enjoy! ;).
14. 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!
