Mel In Your Mouth Peanut Butter Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 325?F.
• 2. In electric mixer cream the shortening and peanut butter, then add the brown sugar and beat until well mixed.
• 3. Place flour, baking soda, and salt in a sifter and sift into bowl while the beaters are running.
• 4. When thoroughly mixed take a small amount (about 1 Tbs.) in your hand and roll into a small ball, then place on greased cookie sheet and, using a fork, slightly flatten the cookies, making a cross pattern with the fork.
• 5. Bake on middle rack of oven for 15-20 minutes.
• 6. Cool on cookie sheet for 5-10 minutes. Makes approx. 24 cookies

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°
• 2. I use a Kitchen Aid stand mixer & leave it running the whole time I'm putting this together.
• 3. Cream shortening, sugars, and vanilla extract.
• 4. Add beaten eggs, and beat thoroughly. (Just throw them in, don't beat first)
• 5. Stir in peanut butter.
• 6. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture.
• 7. Using big scoop, place 6 level scoops on ungreased air bake cookie sheets.
• 8. Press with back of fork dipped in milk to make a crisscross design. Original recipe calls for flour but milk makes it crisper. Refer to picture above. It shows one that is in the ball & the others show how much to flatten.
• 9. Bake at 350° for exactly 14 minutes. Set your timer.
• 10. Remove from oven & let cool on cookie sheet for at least 5 minutes. Then transfer to wire cooling rack until completely cool. I stack these standing up in large air tight container to keep them from weighing heavy on each other.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In your electric mixer's bowl, beat the shortening and peanut butter on medium to high speed for 30 seconds, or until well combined.
• Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
• Beat until well combined and"fluffy", occasionally scraping the sides of the bowl.
• Beat in egg, milk and vanilla until well combined.
• Beat in the flour.
• You may stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon if your mixer doesn't get it all.
• Shape cookie dough into one inch balls.
• Roll the balls (individually) in the 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
• Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until bottoms are lightly browned.
• Do not overbake.
• Immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie.
• Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
• After cooling, hide them from your children, or you won't get any.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar and egg white until completely blended.
• Roll dough into 1"-1 1/2" balls and place about 2" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press down on each cookie once or twice (crisscrossed) with the back of a fork.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until pale golden and set around the edges.
• Gently transfer to a wire rack to cool. If they are too crumbly to move, let cool for a minute or two on the cookie sheet first.
• Makes 2 dozen cookies.
• Variations:.
• Peanut Butter Raisin Roundies.
• Add 1 1/2 cups raisins to the peanut butter mixture. Roll balls of dough as directed but flatten them a little with your hand on the cookie sheet. Bake as directed. You will get more cookies from your batch, with 120 calories each, 1.4 g fiber, 4.5 g fat and 30% calories from fat.
• Peanut Butter White Chocolate Chunk Cookies.
• These are a little higher in fat, but they sure are delicious, and most of the fat is still unsaturated. Stir 1/2 cup chopped white chocolate into the dough and bake as directed. Adds 1 g fat per cookie.
