Big Grandma's Best Peanut Butter Cookies

By Addie

"This is my husband's grandmother's recipe that is cherished by the family. They are the best cookie that melts in your mouth. They don't have the normal peanut butter fork crossing...but more of a crackled sugar type cookie... My husband comes from a huge family - and these are one of the cherished recipes!!"

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter ( Skippy)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 cups flour ( 1/4 cup more if needed)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cream together the sugars, Crisco, peanut butter. Add the eggs and vanilla.

2. Sift the dry ingredients together and add gradually until blended well.

3. Roll into tablespoon size balls. Roll cookie dough balls into sugar. Place on cookie sheets- do not mash with fork in normal "peanut butter cookie" fashion!

4. Bake at 350° oven for 11-13 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for a minute for cookies to firm up, than remove to wire racks.
