Directions
Cookie Jar Peanut Butter Cookies, My favorite peanut butter cookies! Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside–just the way I like them From Sheila Lukins USA Cookbook, a great book!, Love these! Quick, easy and I add a tsp vanilla and a little extra Peanut Butter and roll in sugar , SUPERB peanut butter cookies! It really needs more than 5 stars I baked them for 10 minutes on parchment lined half-size baking sheets Left them on the pans for a few minutes and they were perfect! No nasty floury taste, no rancid taste I like recipes that are 1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening because that gives the best tasting cookie (in my humble opinion) Used Crisco and Jiff peanut butter The only change I made was to dip my fork in sugar instead of flour and it worked perfectly!! This is my idea of the perfect peanut butter cookie and I will make it until I can no longer bake! FOR BAKING SUCCESS, YOU HAVE TO MEASURE YOUR FLOUR BY FLUFFING THE FLOUR , SPOONING LIGHTLY IN THE CUP AND LEVELING OFF If you want to substitute whole wheat, I would not use more than 1/4 whole wheat Whole wheat flour absorbs liquid differently than white flour Ciao, thank you for your most excellent recipe!
