This recipe makes about 20 crisp cookies.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter or other soft shortening
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Procedure
Get Ready
Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Grease the cookie sheets.
Make the cookie batter
1. Get a large mixing bowl. Measure the shortening and put it in the bowl. Then measure the peanut butter and put it in with the shortening. Whip them together with a mixing spoon. Whip them until they are blended together.
2. Measure the granulated sugar and pour it on the peanut butter mixture. Pack the brown sugar into a measuring cup and then dump it on the granulated sugar.
3. Cream the sugars and the peanut butter mixture together.
4. Now get a cup. Break the egg into the cup and then add it to your mixture.
5. Measure the vanilla and pour it in. Start to stir slowly. Then stir hard and fast until you have a smooth batter. Set the mixing bowl aside.
6. Measure the flour, the salt, and the baking soda into a sifter. Sift them into a bowl.
7. Add the sifted ingredients to the peanut butter batter. Stir slowly. Stir as hard as you can. You will have a stiff, light-brown cookie batter.
Shape and Bake the Cookies
Use an "eating" teaspoon. For each cookie, scoop out a spoonful of batter and push the batter off onto the cookie sheet. Leave a lot of room around each cookie.
Before you put the cookies into the oven, mark them with the back of a fork. Here's how you do it: Put some flour on a plate. Dip the fork into the flour. Then press down on a cookie with the back of the fork. Make criss-cross marks all over the cookie.
Dip the fork into the flour again and mark the next cookie. Mark all the cookies this way, and then put them into the hot oven.
Let the cookies bake for 10 minutes. (Get another batch ready if you have another cookie sheet.)
Ten minutes are up! Smell those peanut butter cookies! Look how much they have spread out! They are very flat and very soft. Use a spatula to lift them off the cookie sheet and put them on a wire rack.
Let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes. As they cool, they become crisp. Try one and see.
