These nutty little treats are light and crispy on texture but heavy on deliciousness.
1 cup shortening (preferably butter flavored)
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup natural peanut butter (preferably 1/2 chunky and 1/2 creamy)
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons salt
Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
Cream together the shortening, brown and white sugars until smooth; add eggs and vanilla and fully combine. Stir in the peanut butter. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly but don't overmix. Roll into walnut-sized balls and press flat with tines of fork to make a pretty design. Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
