Instructions

  1. Mix sugars, peanut butter, shortening, butter and egg in large bowl.
  2. Stir in remaining ingredients.
  3. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until firm.
  4. Heat oven to 375ºF.
  5. Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.
  6. Place about 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped into sugar (water works well too).
  7. Bake 9 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown.
  8. Note: about 1 minute before they are done it helps to lift and bang the sheet on the rack and turn it.
  9. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet.
  10. Cool on a wire rack.
  11. Other note: you can use all butter/margarine to replace the shortening and probably would work vice versa as well.
