Another recipe modified from a recipe in a cookbook by Grandmother gave me:

Peanut Butter Cookies

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Blend together all ingredients using your hands. Order is not important. Chill dough for 2 hours in refrigerator. Once chilled, roll into 1" balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Place in preheated 350 degree oven. Cook for 10-12 minutes. (10 minutes only if you want a chewy cookie-longer from cruchy cookie.) Allow to cool 5 minutes on baking sheet before removing. Will make 16 large cookies.


"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek
