Peanut Butter Cookies

Hello!!

This weekend I have been craving peanut butter cookies. I continually said I was going to make them, but then I got really lazy and decided to do other things like surf the web or sit on my but and watch t.v. Well, they are finally made and with the smell of peanut butter cookies in the air I sit down on my but to go on the internet. Hopefully you aren't as lazy as me and once you read this recipe go to make the cookies right away! Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Cookies 

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups flour 
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder 
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter flavored Crisco 
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter 
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs 
• 1 tsp vanilla

Stir first 4 ingredients; set aside. With a mixer mix Crisco and peanut butter until smooth, beat in sugars until blended, then eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture; beat until well blended. If necessary chill dough. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet; flatten with a fork dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. 

Makes 72 cookies (6 dozen)

(My mom also included the calories and gram of fat for each cookie, but I am going to leave that out. No one wants to know how many calories they are consuming when they eat peanut butter cookies like the cookie monster.)

So stop being lazy and go make some peanut butter cookies. I will say this in advance, Your Welcome!!
