Peanut Butter Cookies

Cream:
1 cup sugar
1 cup Brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 cup shortening

Add:
3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together. Roll into small balls & press with a floured fork to make a criss cross on top. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes at 325-350 degrees.

I just found this one on Cooks.com if you know of anyone who cannot have gluten...

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg

Mix well and roll into small balls. Place on ungreased, parchment lined cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork and bake for 15 minutes at 350. Cookies are done when they are light brown and a little shiny in the middle. Let cool.

Yields 2 dozen 2 inch round cookies

Tonya, You could do what I do.....dip your spoon in the peanut butter jar and then stick it straight in your mouth...... Clean up sure is easy with this one. Here is the simple recipe.


1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
1 1/3 cups baking sugar replacement (recommended: Splenda)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, 1 cup sugar replacement, the egg, and vanilla, and stir well with a spoon. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. With a fork, dipped in sugar replacement to prevent sticking, press a crisscross design on each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes, remove from the oven, and sprinkle the cookies with some of the remaining sugar replacement. Cool slightly before removing from pan.

Here's a recipe for Bill's Peanut Butter Balls .

I made the recipe I posted last night with Summer and it is REALLY good! and easy! I only baked them for about 8-10 minutes, tho....Doug couldn't believe there was no flour involved.

Cindy- I almost read your post WAY wrong!

I couldn't post what I started to when I read that wrong...
