How to Make Gradma's Homestyle Peanut Butter Big Cookies

These are incredibly soft and just as delish as the Oatmeal Raisin big cookies!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 c. vegetable shortening (I use Crisco)
• 1/2 c. Peter Pan peanut butter
• 1 1/4 c. packed dark brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 c. A. P. F.
• 2 tsp. baking soda

1. 
    

   Preheat your oven to 275 degrees.

2. 
    

   Beat the vegetable shortening, peanut butter, dark brown sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until it's smooth.

3. 
    

   In another bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Carefully and slowly add the dry mix to the wet mix while beating it in.

4. 
    

   Roll 3 tbsp. size balls of dough in your hands and press them into 1/2" "flat tires" and transfer them to an un-greased baking sheet.

5. 
    

   Bake for 18 - 20 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• Be very careful not to cook these, otherwise they're not as chewy and soft...obviously...but soft as in the actual softness of Grandma's Brand cookies!
• Makes 14 to 16 cookies.
