Peanut Butter Cookies

These cookies are REALLY good, but they dry out quickly (3 days MAX)...so if you are going to eat them or give them away soon, these are the cookies for you!

Recipe makes 5 dozen, but can be cut in half.

Preheat oven to 350.

1 c shortening
1 c brown sugar
1 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Cream together ingredients, then add:

1 c peanut butter (I like to use crunchy peanut butter for the added nuts/texture)

Stir together the following ingredients, then add it gradually to the creamed mixture:

2 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 t baking soda

Roll the dough into small balls. Roll the balls in sugar, place on a cookie sheet, then press a fork in a criss cross pattern to flatten the cookie. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
