Mom's Peanut Butter Cookies





I love these cookies.  They are the perfect combination of sweetness and the rich peanut butter flavor that I enjoy.  They are a winner with my kids!


Cream together:   
1c. shortening
1c. sugar
1c. brown sugar

Add and cream until light and fluffy:   
1c. peanut butter
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Add dry ingredients and mix will:   
2 1/2c. flour
2 tsp. soda
1/4 tsp. salt


Scoop dough into balls and roll in sugar.  Put on the cookie sheet and slightly flatten with the tines of a fork.  Turn fork 90 degrees and flatten a bit more to create a checker pattern on your cookie.
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.  Let baked cookies cool slightly on pan.
Makes about 4 1/2 dozen.  Delicious!!!
