Remember when I made Homemade Brown Sugar the other day? I promised the recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies. Well, after that, the attack of the stomach flu landed on me and I didn't get recipe that posted. Having just finished the last of these delicious Soft Peanut Butter Cookies, I remembered that I needed to post the recipe. This recipe uses shortening. I rarely buy or use shortening but I confess that I do use shortening when it comes to making soft cookies. I normally make Chocolate Chip Cookies and use shortening (not butter-flavored, just regular). I find that when I use butter, I just cannot get soft cookies like I can with using shortening. The other night I was pinning and pinning on Pinterest and ran across a simple, delicious recipe and scrumptious picture for peanut butter cookies. Hmmm! Sometimes I forget to make this simple, old fashioned cookie. Why? I don't know. Truly they are never up...
This is how I do it AT HOME MY WAY!
