Big Peanut Butter Cookies

“ We love making these cookies very large. If you do this cook for about 11 minutes. It’s fun to drizzle them with melted chocolate too. Since this recipe does make so many cookies, you can roll some of the dough up and freeze for a later use.”

5 1/4 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter

3/4 cups shortening

1 3/4 cups sugar

1 3/4 cups brown sugar

4 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup peanut butter


1. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.


2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, shortening, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in peanut butter. Add flour mixture and stir until well blended.


3. Drop dough by tablespoons onto cookie sheets. Using a fork dipped in flour, flatten each cookie slightly in a crisscross patter. Bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Do not over bake.


Makes 5 dozen 3-inch cookies.
