Soft Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 3 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 Cup shortening
• 1/2 Cup butter

  softened
• 1 Cup granulated sugar
• 1 Cup light brown sugar

  packed
• 2 eggs

  well beaten
• 1 Cup peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350˚ F.
• 2 In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  Mix well and set
  aside.
• 3 In a separate mixing bowl, cream the shortening, butter and sugars together. 
  Add your beaten eggs, peanut butter and vanilla and mix until all ingredients
  are well incorporated. Mix in your dry ingredients into the wet ingredients
  until well incorporated.
• 4 Using a cookie scoop, remove the cookie dough and roll between your hands to
  form a ball.  Roll the dough into a bowl of sugar.  Place the peanut butter
  cookie dough balls evenly spaced on an un-greased cookie sheet. Using a fork,
  make a criss cross pattern on each peanut butter cookie ball to flatten them to
  approximately 1/4 an inch.
• 5 Bake in a 350˚ F for 12 to 13 minutes or until the edges just barely start to
  show a little browning.
