You'll need:
- 1 1/2 c. flour
- 1 tsp. soda
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 c. shortening
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 c. peanut butter
- 1 egg
Have an adult help you set the oven
temperature to 375 degrees. Sift flour onto waxed paper. Add the soda
and salt and sift again. Break the egg into a small bowl. Beat with a
fork until well blended. Soften shortening in a medium bowl. Slowly beat
in the brown and white sugars. Add the egg and beat until well mixed.
Stir in the peanut butter. Add vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, a bit at
a time. Form dough into small balls with your hands and place on cookie
sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten the balls by making criss-crosses on
them with a fork. Bake about 10 minutes. |
