Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

Cookies all dressed up and ready to go!

 

Here's the recipe, it makes a bunch so be ready for a place to store them.

Mrs K's Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe  (Mrs. K is my Mother in Law)

Bake at 375* 10 - 12 min or until brown

Cream Together

4 - Cups Sugar

2 - Cups Short. or (1 c Short + 1 c. Butter)

Add and cream together once more

2 - Cups Peanut Butter

Slowly add or it will be all over the place

1/2 - Milk

4 - t. Vanilla

Add these one at a time until light creamy and almost fluffy

4 - eggs 

In a seperate bowl mix these dry ingredients

7 - Cups AP/ Flour

2 - Teaspoons Salt

4- Teaspoons Soda

Now  add all the dry ingredients a big spoonful at a time and watch out once again or you will look like the Pillsbury dough boy all nice and white. Mix well.

    Once everything is mixed well I like to use a small ice cream scoop it makes a cookie drop about the size of a ping pong ball maybe. 

   I do grease the cookie sheet. They don't spread much but I only put them about 3 across the narrow side of the pan. I them press them down slightly. ( My mother in law used to dip the bottom of a glass in sugar and press them down then ) I like to use a old fashioned potato masher that has wire squares. When I press down the squares pop up and it gives the cookie nice texture and crispyness. Looks good too.

   When they come out they are soft so let them cool a little before putting them on cooling racks to finish out.

**** You can add any kind of choc chip or chunk, butterscotch chips, dip in chocolate or just drizzle. You can also put 2 cookies together with choc fudge frosting in the middle to make it just dangerous to eat!
