I wrestled with
the thought of whether or not to include my secret ingredient for my
often–soughtafter Peanut Butter Cookies. This recipe is the result of trying
numerous recipes which never quite fit my expectations. I decided to include my secret
ingredient; I'm just not going to say which ingredient it is.
Preparation Time: 2 Hours 30 Minutes Serving Size: 7

- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Cream sugars, peanut butter, cinnamon, shortening and
butter in large bowl. Add egg and blend. Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl before
adding to the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Heat oven to
375°. Shape dough into 1¼inch balls. Place 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie
sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with greased fork dipped in sugar. Bake 9 to 10
minutes or until lightly brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. |
