Peanut Butter - Criss Cross Cookies

Shared with me by: Sharon S (my mom)

I will always think of my mom when I bake these
My dad’s favorite cookie!

Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter, softened
  • 1 c. white sugar
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 1 c. peanut butter, plain or with nuts (I use NATURAL Jiff)
  • 3 c. unbleached all-purpose white flour
  • 2 t. baking soda
  • 1/2 t. salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, cream margarine, butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla and peanut butter. Stir in dry ingredients. Chill for a couple hours to make rolling into balls easier.

Roll into balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Take a floured fork and make a crisscross on each cookie to flatten. Dip fork in flour for each cookie.

Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks lined with paper towel to absorb the grease.
