Ingredients

For the cookies

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shortening, salt, baking soda, and peanut butter. Mix until well blended.

    🥄 Ensure your shortening is softened (but not melted) for easier mixing.

  2. Gradually add the granulated sugar and then the brown sugar, creaming thoroughly after each addition.

    🧂 For extra flavor, consider browning your sugar slightly before adding it to the mixture for a deeper taste!

  3. Add the beaten eggs and mix well until smooth.

  4. Slowly incorporate the flour until the dough is just combined.

  5. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  6. Drop teaspoon-sized portions of dough onto greased or lined cookie sheets. Use a fork dipped in flour to lightly flatten the cookies and create a crosshatch pattern.

    🍴 This step not only looks great but helps the cookies bake evenly!

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

    ⌛ Keep an eye on them; ovens can vary, and you want them slightly soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.

  8. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

    🍪 These cookies will harden slightly as they cool, ensuring the ideal texture.

Makes: Approximately 5 dozen cookies! 🎉
