Time 40m

Yield 80

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking soda

Steps:

  • Set out four 12x14-inch long pieces of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  • Cream shortening, white sugar, brown sugar, and peanut butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla extract and eggs until light and fluffy.
  • Mix together flour and baking soda in a separate bowl until well combined. Gradually add flour mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until blended.
  • Divide dough into 4 pieces and form each piece into an 8 to 10-inch roll. Wrap rolls in prepared waxed paper or plastic wrap and place in the freezer until ready to bake.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove dough from freezer and cut into 1-inch thick slices. Cut each slice into quarters and roll each piece into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and use a fork to flatten with a nice crisscross design.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on racks.

These cookies are also great for freezing. I like to bake a batch and then freeze them for later.

I had trouble getting the cookies to bake evenly. Some of them were overcooked while others were still raw.

The cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.
