These peanut butter cookies have just made my list of favorite cookies ever. They are thick soft and oh so chewy! The secret ingredient is a cup of honey. Yep I guess that would do it!
Here is what you need:
Cream together the shortning, butter, peanut butter and honey.
Add the eggs.
In a seperate bowl wisk all the dry ingredients together.
Add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and beat until incorperated.
Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and roll in sugar.
Bake for 10-12 minutes (or until slightly puffed and golden) in a 350 degree oven.
Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy with a cold glass of milk!
Come back tomorrow for Welcome Home Wednesday. I am going to share 2 simple tricks that help have more productive days.
