1 cup butter (or shortening)
1 cup Sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup Peanut Butter (smooth or chunky)
2 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour (sifted)
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350° F. Cream together shortening (or butter) sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in peanut butter. Sift together dry ingredients and mix into creamed ingredients. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheet. Dip a fork in flour and press cookie with a crisscross shape. Bake 10-12 minutes.

Note: I found that chilling the dough helped immensely since this dough is rather sticky. I also formed the dough into a long tube before chilling and then sliced off the amount I wanted for each cookie. Also, the original recipe calls for 2 cups of brown sugar. I didn't have brown sugar in the pantry so left it out of this version.

My Mama taught me her recipe for these peanut butter treats. She always allowed me to dip my fork into the flour and make the cris cross markings on the cookies. I will definitely try your recipe.
