Time 27m

Yield 3 dozen cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup white sugar
1 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
1 cup creamy peanut butter (Skippy)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups flour (1/4 cup more if needed)

Steps:

Cream together the sugars, Crisco, peanut butter.
Add the eggs and vanilla.
Sift the dry ingredients together and add gradually until blended well.
Roll into tablespoon size balls.
Roll cookie dough balls into sugar.
Place on cookie sheets- do not mash with fork in normal "peanut butter cookie" fashion!
Bake at 350° oven for 11-13 minutes.

Tips:

Use high-quality peanuts: The quality of the peanuts you use will greatly affect the taste of your peanut butter. Look for peanuts that are fresh, plump, and have a deep red color.
Roast the peanuts before blending: Roasting the peanuts will bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic. You can roast the peanuts in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Use a powerful blender: A high-powered blender will be able to grind the peanuts into a smooth and creamy butter. If you don't have a powerful blender, you can also use a food processor, but it may take longer to get the desired consistency.
Add salt to taste: Once the peanut butter is blended, add salt to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as honey, sugar, or cinnamon, to taste.
Store the peanut butter in an airtight container: Peanut butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Making peanut butter at home is a great way to get a delicious, healthy, and affordable spread. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make peanut butter that is just as good as, if not better than, store-bought peanut butter. So next time you're in the mood for a peanut butter sandwich, try making your own peanut butter from scratch. You won't be disappointed!
