Ingredients

For the Cookies

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

🥄 This step is crucial! Creaming incorporates air into the dough, making your cookies soft and tender.

  1. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, blending well until fully combined.

  2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture into the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined.

  3. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in size) and place them on a greased cookie sheet.

  4. Using a fork, gently press down on each ball to flatten and create a crisscross pattern. For easier handling, dip the fork in flour occasionally to prevent sticking!

  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

  6. Remove from the oven and let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

⏳ Baking time may vary slightly based on your oven. Keep an eye on them as they bake to ensure they don’t overcook!
