I’m looking for a peanut butter cookie recipe. This is for two reasons: 1. My friend/landlord/boss of the past few years has been a godsend, helping us keep a roof over our heads and money coming in. Peanut butter cookies are one of his favorites. I can’t give much, but I can give cookies! 2. My husband also likes peanuts, peanut butter, and cookies. Bonus points if it’s bird-safe as well, because the family flock likes goodies, too (yes, they do get occasional nibbles of bird-safe cookies and other baked goods but rest assure most of the time it’s Proper Bird Nutrition) Unfortunately, I myself can not eat peanuts, peanut butter, or peanut butter cookies (peanuts do not agree with me) so I’ll have to rely on others to supply me with a yummy recipe. ---

Peanut Butter Crisscrosses Preheat oven to 375 degrees Cream together: 1 cup shortening 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar Add: 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla mix together well then add 1 cup peanut butter (plain or chunky) Sift together: 3 cups flour 2 teaspoon baking soda dash of salt then mix with creamed ingredients Form into balls and place on un-greased cookie sheet. Then press down lightly on each ball with a potato masher to make the crisscrosses. Or you can press on each cookie with the tines of a fork. (way more fun to bash them with the potato masher!) bake for 10 minutes And the way to eat these is to put the cookie half-way into your mouth and blow air through it to soften it, then eat it! ---
