I have been making these cookies since my late teens! I spent at lot of weekends at Grandma’s house and did a lot of baking there. I love them so much and when my grandma passed, I got her little red recipe box with all of her hand written recipes and this is one of them.
1/2 Cup Lard, Butter or Shortning, Room Temp
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
2 Large Eggs, Room Temp
3/4 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Baking Powder
Set your oven heat to 375 degrees.
Wisk dry ingredients together and set aside.
Cream fat and sugar together, add eggs one at a time until incorporated, add peanut butter.
Add dry mixture to wet ingredients, mix until just combined.
Roll into 2 inch balls. Roll ball in granulated sugar. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Take a knife and dip it in milk and then make a crosswise fork (Hashtag!) print into the cookie. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar or some super fin sprinkles.
Bake @ 375 8-10 minutes.
Cool on wire rack.
