Ingredients

• 2-1/2 cups flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup fat (margarine, butter, or shortening)*(see note)
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Mix flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Mix fat and peanut butter. Add both kinds of sugar. Mix well. Add eggs and beat well.

Stir flour mixture into peanut butter mixture.

Drop dough from a teaspoon on baking pan. Flatten with a fork.

Bake at 375 ° (moderate oven) 10 to 15 minutes until lightly browned.

Makes 4 to 5 dozen cookies.

NOTE: This recipe calls for "fat". I used half amounts of butter (for crispness) and shortening (for chew).
