FAMILY REUNION PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



Family Reunion Peanut Butter Cookies image

I can't remember where I got this recipe, perhaps one of my large quanities cookbook, or maybe even Tast of Home, but I have made it quite a few times for large events. They really are very tasty. You can divide this recipe in half if you are not cooking for a big crowd. I like using my airbake pans when ever I bake cookies, it...

Categories     Cookies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 c buttered flavored crisco
4 c chunky peanut butter
3 c sugar
3 c brown sugar, packed
8 large eggs, room temperature
2 Tbsp vanilla extract (i prefer madagascar)
4 tsp baking soda
4 tsp salt
1/4 c milk ( i use evaporated)
9 c all purpose flour

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a very large mixing bowl, cream the shortening, peanut Butter, & both sugars together until light & fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Mix vanilla & milk together and pour into creamed mixture.
  • 2. In another bowl add the flour soda, & salt & mix together. Then gradually add the flour to the creamed mixture until all has been incoperated together. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls, at least 2 inches apart, onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • 3. Flatten with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes for firmer cookie. If you prefer as I do a more chewier soft batch cookie, then bake for 8 minutes. Let rest a couple of minutes & Then remove to wire rack to cool completely. Makes about 18 dozen cookies. Can cut recipe in half if you like.
  • 4. NOTE MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE: I prefer to rub hands with a small amout of butter or margarine & roll dough into balls, dip fork into granulated sugar, and make a crisscross pattern in cookies and bake. Cookies do expand as they bake.Recipe is one of many in my cookbook of 795 recipes.

Tips and Tricks for Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies:

  • Use the right peanut butter: Natural, creamy peanut butter with no added sugar or salt is the best choice for these cookies. Using any other type of peanut butter may alter the taste and texture of the cookies.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Before storing or serving the cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack.
