Preparation

Step 1

Cream the butter, butter-flavored shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar. Add eggs and blend. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Add all-purpose flour and baking soda, then stir until well blended.

Measure out tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place 3-inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheets. Make a criss-cross pattern with a fork.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375°F or 190°C, for about 8 to 10 minutes until set, but not hard. Do not overbake. Leave on sheets for 2 minutes before removing. Cool, and store in a covered container or serve warm with a glass of milk.
